The Impossible Planet

Alyssa landed in a small corridor that had the Tardis at the end of it. Alyssa smiled when The Doctor and Rose opened the door and said: "Oi, you two do you happen to know where we are?" They turned to her and smiled. She walked over,

"No." The Doctor said, before looking around trying to see if he could recognize where they were but didn't recognize anything, "I put the Tardis on random but something went wrong. I don't know what's wrong though. She's sort of queasy. Indigestion, like she didn't want to land." He said stroking the door to the Tardis a bit before turning back to Alyssa and asking "Do you happen to know where we are?" Alyssa looked around trying to see if she could remember the episode that she was but then shook her head before her eyes snapped to Rose.

"Am I ignoring you?" Alyssa said,

"Yeah Kinda!" Rose said before giving her a hug, she smiled and when they pulled away

"Sorry I just came from a future adventure with him, where people kept ignoring me, I really don't like being ignored." Alyssa said, Rose and The Doctor shared a look and the doctor asked: "Where did you just come from?" Alyssa flinched and said, "Pompeii, it's a whole lot of Spoilers can't tell you anything." The Doctor just nodded and Alyssa then said

"The best way to find out where you are is to go exploring." she said as she turned around and walked to the door and opened it an automated voice saying, "Open Door 15."

"Come on then!" she said as she went through the door, Rose and the Doctor started following her. While they walked through the many sections of where ever they were, The Doctor muttering on while they walked on. "Some sort of base. Moon base, sea base, space base. They build these things out of kits."

"Space base I think," Alyssa said as she opened another door that led to some sort of room.

"Why do you think that Alyssa?" Rose asked,

"I always pictured a sea base as something with lots of windows, because why build a base underwater and not look at the beauty around them?" Alyssa said as she walked to the center of the room looking around, not noticing The Doctor smile softly at her, and walk over to Rose explaining that it was, in fact, a Space base. Alyssa looked at a sign and saw the words 'Welcome to Hell.'

"Oh..." Alyssa said, "I know where we are now."

"What made you figure it out?" The Doctor said looking up at her

"Welcome to Hell," She said, pointing at the words. The Doctor looked at the words but only took an interest in the words underneath it

"What's that then, it's not translating." He said and walked over and leaned down and tried to see if he could decipher it.

"But I thought the Tardis could translate anything?" Rose asked

"Not if the language is older then the Tardis itself," Alyssa said, looking back at one of the doors wondering when a certain friend or friends would arrive.

"Yeah very old impossibly old, we should find out who's in charge." he said walking over to the door to open it only for it to be opened from the other side. A group of aliens that was bald and had tentacles where a nose and a mouth would be and an orb in the came into the room and kept repeating "We must feed." Rose and The Doctor backed up, The Doctor trying to pull Alyssa with them but she just simply said,

"I'm just going to save us a lot of trouble. You guys might want to give your orb a tap." the creature that was in front them did exactly that and the rest followed in its example,

"you." it finally said, "If you are hungry."

"Ah, there we go," Alyssa said smiling, and the Doctor and Rose just watched as she addressed the creature as if it were human.

"We apologize Electromagnetics have interfered with speech systems. Would you like some refreshment?" The creature said,

"The Ood. They are usually friendly. And I mean usually." Alyssa said, as another door opened and people came through the door, who were soon stunned about them being there and that them being there was impossible. They soon forced them to move with them and to the Control Room. The captain looked at them with just as much shock and said,

"Oh my god you meant it," A black person said who was sitting at a desk which looked like the main control device.

" People! Look at that, real people!" Another person who had dirty blonde hair said,

"Yep, real people here hello I'm Alyssa!" Alyssa said waving at everyone in the room.

" Yep, definitely real. My name's Rose. Rose Tyler. And, and this is the Doctor." Rose said gesturing to herself and the Doctor. Alyssa knew what was about to happen and grabbed a rail behind and the captain of the space station. More conversation went on about how they couldn't be real. Until the captain said,

"Come on, we're in the middle of an alert! Danny, strap up. The quake's coming in! Impact in thirty seconds! Sorry, you three, whoever you are. Just hold on, tight."

"Hold on to what?" Rose said looking around for something to hold onto.

"Anything. I don't care. Just hold on."

"Rose there are bars over here come on," Alyssa said and Rose ran over and grabbed the bar. The Doctor did the same thing but the bar he hung onto was behind him. He then asked

"What's this planet called, anyway?"

"Doctor this place doesn't have a name!" Alyssa shouted

"Now, don't be stupid. It hasn't got a name. How could it have a name? You really don't know, do you?" The female with Dirty blonde hair said, astounded that the Doctor had really no idea where they were. Before the Doctor could ask anything else the captain yelled: "And impact!" The whole base shook and lasted only a few seconds The Doctor let go of the bar

"Oh, well, that wasn't so bad."The Doctor said,"Doc you might!" Alyssa said but it was too late the base shook once more but this time worse than the one before. Soon it was over and Alyssa let go of the bar and straightened herself before smacking the back of the Doctor's head. "Don't let go of a bar when an earthquake just happened until you get an all clear!" The Doctor rubbed the back of his head but said nothing, knowing that Alyssa was right. The captain made sure every one of his crew was alright but ignored the three. The Doctor took noticed this

"We're fine, thanks, fine. Yeah, don't worry about us." The Doctor said, the captain began pressing buttons on his console to see the damage and said: "The surface caved in. I deflected it onto storage five through eight. We've lost them completely. Toby, go and check the rocket link."

"That's not my department." The man said,

"Just do as I say, yeah?" The captain said, and Toby did, in fact, leave to do what he said, Soon the female who told them that the planet had no name, reading off something on a report, said "Oxygen holding. Internal gravity fifty-six point six. We should be okay."

"Never mind the earthquake, that's, that's one hell of a storm. What is that, a hurricane?" Rose asked,

"You'd need an atmosphere for a hurricane. There's no air out there. It's a complete vacuum." The other dirty blond hair said,

"Then what's shaking the roof?" Rose asked, Alyssa looked up at the ceiling ,

"Something a lot worse than a Hurricane" Alyssa said, while one of the females who had dirty blonde began doing introductions of everyone in the Control room.

" I'm Ida Scott, science officer. Zachary Cross Flane, acting Captain, sir. You've met Mister Jefferson, he's Head of Security. Danny Bartock, Ethics committee." Pointing out each of them as she said their names. Danny smiled and said, "Not as boring as it sounds." Ida then continued with the introductions

"And that man who just left, that was Toby Zed, Archaeology," she moved to behind the other dirty blond haired female and put her hands on her shoulder" and this is Scooti Manista, Trainee maintenance." She then walked over to a lever and got ready to pull it and she continued "And this? This is home." she pulled a lever and the roof above them opened up and a black hole could be seen. Alyssa sucked in a breath, she knew it was dangerous but it looked beautiful in person. The Doctor then went on about how the planet that they were on shouldn't exist, but it did. They also explained why the had traveled to the asteroid that orbited a black hole.

Alyssa sat by herself and watched the black hole in silence and let out a shaky breath. Rose noticed and came over, "It's alright.""That's not what terrifies me, Rose.""Then what is it?"

"For the last couple trips, I kinda knew that this was real but didn't fully accept it now sitting here with a big black hole above and with everything that has happened it just hit me like a big bag of bricks. I lost my family, and I'm acting like everything is alright, when really it's not!" She let out another shaky breath and said: "I miss them and I will never see them again." She let out a sob and covered her mouth with her hand as the tears continued down her face. Rose then took Alyssa into a hug and she clutched her like a lifeline. The Doctor looked back at them and looked at Rose with eyes full of concern but Rose said nothing just continued to comfort Alyssa the best she could.

Soon Alyssa stood up and walked to the Doctor who was looking at the diagram of the base and how they were drilling down. Ida finally asked the Doctor how they had gotten into the space station and The Doctor said " Oh, I've got this er, this ship. It's hard to explain. It just sort of appears."

"We can show you, we parked down the corridor from er. Oh, what's it called? Habitation area?"

"Habitation Area Three." Zach looked at them and said, "Do you mean storage six?"

"Oh I forgot something important, I knew I did," Alyssa said and looked at the Doctor who had also just figured it out. "It was a bit of a cupboard, yeah. Storage six. But you said. You said. You said storage five to eight." With that, The Doctor took off running Alyssa running after him and Rose started chasing after them too. They rushed to get through the doors and finally they got to the one door that wouldn't open. The Doctor said as he looked out the window of the door, "t can't be. It can't be!" Alyssa slid down the wall and sat on the ground as she watched Rose and The Doctor.

"What's wrong? What is it? Doctor, the Tardis is in there. What's happened?"

"The Tardis is gone."

"The earthquake. This section collapsed." He said, looking like he was stabbed, he lost another thing that reminded him of Gallifrey. He moved away from the window and at Alyssa who was looking at him with a look that said 'I'm sorry' he sighed and shook it head trying to tell her it wasn't her fault.

"But it's got to be out there somewhere." Rose said, As Rose looks through the window as well.

"Look down." The Doctor said, Rose did exactly that and saw a big chasm right where the Tardis use to be. Soon they made their way back to the control room and The Doctor tried to convince Zach to divert the drilling so they could find the Tardis. Alyssa took out her notebook and made a list of things that happened in this episode and the next one. She jumped up from where she was sitting and ran to the Doctor

"I remember, Doc you do get the Tardis back!" The Doctor looked at her and down at her notebook and said: "how?"

"When you have a chance to go down an elevator you need to take it and when you have a chance to jump do it." The Doctor nodded and Alyssa looked back down at her list and said: "I can't tell you anything else, Spoilers." He nodded and walked over to Rose and asked if she was okay.

"Don't worry about me." She said, then the base shook a bit and Rose then quickly said "Okay, we're on a planet that shouldn't exist, under a black hole and no way out. Yeah, I've changed my mind. Start worrying about me." The Doctor took her into a hug, which Alyssa joined into.

The three soon made their way to the Habitation 3, so the Doctor could examine the Alien script that The Tardis couldn't translate, and so Alyssa and Rose could eat. They went to get a tray and Scooti said "Help yourself. Just don't have the green. Or the blue." Before grabbing her tray and going to sit down. Rose looked at the options and pointed at something that looked like black beans.

"Er, a bit of that, thanks." Rose said, The Ood then scooped it onto her tray and asked:

"Would you like sauce with that?"

"I'll have a go, yeah. I did that job once. I was a, a dinner lady. Not that I'm calling you a lady. Although I don't know, you might be. Do you actually get paid, though? Do they give you money?""Oh I was meaning to ask about that," Alyssa said, smiling wondering if in her future if she jumped around if she met Sarah Jane. Rose smiled at her but both of the smiles they had fell when the Ood said: "The Beast and his Armies shall rise from the Pit to make war against God." Both Rose and Alyssa said, "I'm sorry?"

"Apologies. I said I hope you enjoy your meal."

"Yeah," Rose said and went and sat by the Doctor who was taking a break from examining the alien words. Alyssa soon joined them with a tray of her own food and sat down with them. She looked at her food in a sort of disgust and reached into her pockets just hoping she could find at least some other type of food. Soon she felt a banana and she took it out

"ah this is so much better than whatever this is. Banana's are good." she said smiling up at The Doctor who had also smiled at her. She starting eating right when the lights flickered and Ida called up to Zach to see if there was a problem.

"No more than usual. Got the Scarlet System burning up. Might be worth a look." Zach replied Ida hearing that moved over to the lever that opened up the shutters

"You might want to see this. A moment in history." Ida said before she opened the shutters and explained why there was a red cloud that was heading into the Blackhole.

"There. On the edge. That red cloud. That used to be the Scarlet System. Home to the Peluchi, a mighty civilization spanning a billion years, disappearing forever. Their planets and suns consumed. Ladies and gentlemen, we have witnessed its passing." Ida went to close it,

"Er, no, could you leave it open? Just for a bit. I won't go mad, I promise." The Doctor said, Ida nodded and then gave assignments to Scooti and Jefferson who left Habitation 3. Alyssa watched Scooti leave and brought out her journal and wrote down the events she had remembered from the episode, as she listened to the Doctor talk about with Rose about what they would do when they got to earth. Alyssa stared at the events that she had written down and pointed at an event. She knew exactly what she needed to do if she was to save Scooti's life. Her thoughts were cut off by Rose's phone ringing, Rose answered it and heard the words

"He is awake."

The group went to Ood Habitation, where Danny was Alyssa ran over to him and asked: "Where is door 40 and 41?" Danny looked at her confused and gave her directions when he saw the look on her face

"Sorry Doc, Rose I'll see you again soon." She then took off running, she made it to the doors right before the beast had shattered the glass to kill Scooti. She opened the door and stood by it so the beast couldn't close it and held her hand to her and said: "Come with me if you want to live." Scooti looked back at Alyssa confused but soon took her hand when she saw a crack appear in the glass. Alyssa and Scooti ran even when the base shook to reach Habitation 3 Scooti giving her directions when she yelled for them. Soon they reached Habitation 3, Alyssa whispered into Scooti's ear "Don't tell them anything about Toby." Scooti looked at her confused but nodded. Alyssa smiled as she realized that she had managed to save her life. The Doctor slammed into her with a hug and said: "Are you alright?"

"Yeah just out a breath, I'm sorry for running off so suddenly but I needed to do something." The Doctor looked up at Scooti, who she entered with. The Doctor looked back at Alyssa

"Did she die in your show?" The Doctor asked, Alyssa said nothing but nodded, "Do you have a headache or any weird feeling?" he needed to know if Scooti's death was a fixed point. "No.," she said smiling. The Doctor smiled as well and whispered a 'well done' in her ear. Then the sound of drilling stopped.

"We've stopped drilling. We've made it. Point Zero." Ida said all of them made their way to the drilling area. The Doctor now knew what Alyssa had meant when she said when he had a chance to go down an elevator to take it. so he had grabbed a space suit and volunteered to go down with Ida. Zach wasn't so happy with the idea but soon relented.

"Oxygen, nitro balance, gravity. It's ages since I wore one of these." The Doctor said to Rose and Alyssa,

"Good luck." Rose said, smiling at the Doctor The doctor turned to Alyssa

"I want that spacesuit back in one piece, you got that?" She said

"Yes, sir." He said, then put on his helmet,

"It's funny because people back home think that space travel's going to be all whizzing about and teleports and anti-gravity, but it's not, is it? It's tough." Rose said,

"I'll see you two later." The Doctor said,

"yeah you will." Alyssa said and The Doctor went into the elevator, and they went over to the microphone which Rose had clutched tightly in her hand.

"Don't forget to breathe. Breathing's good." She said, a little bit panicked,

"Rose, stay off the comm," Zach said to her but both Alyssa and Rose said "No chance." Suddenly the cable went into the pit super fast and they could hear the bang all the way in the Drilling Area. "Doctor? Doctor, are you all right?" Rose shouted into the comm, Zach also tried to get in contact with the two. "It's all right. We've made it. Getting out of the capsule now." Rose sighed in relief and then said: "What's it like down there?"

"It's hard to tell. Some sort of cave. Cavern. It's massive." Ida then threw up a gravity globe that lit up the whole area. "Rose, you can tell Toby we've found his civilization."

"Oi, Toby. Sounds like you've got plenty of work." Alyssa shouted to Toby only to look at him concerned when the response was

"Good, good. Good." while the others asked more questions to The Doctor and Ida. Alyssa pulled out her notebook and looked through the events once again. The next event was the Ood getting controlled by the beast. Alyssa sighed and looked up right when Danny said over the comm what was going on with the Ood and how they were at basic 100 which was brain death but were fine. After a bunch of orders from Zach from his crew. The soldiers that were in the room took off the safety of their guns

"Is Everything alright up there?" The Doctor said,"Yes," Everyone said at different times. "We've found something. It looks like metal. Like some sort of seal. I've got a nasty feeling the word might be a trapdoor. Not a good word, trapdoor. Never met a trapdoor I liked." The Doctor said, then Ida added: "The edge is covered with those symbols."

"Do you think it opens?" Zach asked them

"That's what trapdoors tend to do."

"Trapdoor doesn't do it justice. It's massive, Zach. About thirty feet in diameter." Ida said

"Any way of opening it?" Zach asked them another question

"I don't know. I can't see any sort of mechanism." Then the Doctor added "I suppose that's the writing. It'll tell us what to do. The letters that defy translation."

"Toby, did you get anywhere with decoding it?" Zach asked Toby, who was still sitting on the ground. Alyssa was watching him warily now,

"Toby, they need to know that lettering. Does it make any sort of sense?" Rose said looking at him.

"I know what it says."

"Then tell them," Rose said, Jefferson was instantly suspicious of Tony just as much as Alyssa was,

"When did you work that out?" he asked.

"It doesn't matter, just tell them," Rose said once again to Tony, Alyssa stood up and walked over to Rose ready to pull her away in a second notice. Tony turned to them, his face was covered with the symbols and had red eyes. H

"These are the words of the Beast. And he has woken. He is the heart that beats in the darkness. He is the blood that will never cease. And now he will rise" he said, his voice deeper,

"Officer, stand down. Stand down." Jefferson rising his gun a bit,

"What is it? What's he done? What's happening? Rose, what's going on Alyssa what's going on?" The Doctor said, over the comms, Even Zach was trying to get in contact with them.

"Officer, as Commander of Security, I order you to stand down and be confined. Immediately!" Jefferson yelling at Toby.

"He's come out in those symbols all over his face. They're all over him." Rose said into the Comm telling the Doctor what was going on.

"Mister Jefferson. Tell me, sir. Did your wife ever forgive you?" Toby asked Jefferson

"I don't know what you mean," Jefferson said, his face falling a bit.

"Let me tell you a secret. She never did."

"Officer, you stand down and be confined."

"Or what?"

"Or under the strictures of Condition Red, I am authorized to shoot you, " Jefferson said raising his gun all the way ready to shoot him if he needs to. "But how many can you kill?" Toby said before opening his mouth and the symbols leave him and hover around the Ood who began to twitch. Toby collapsed to the floor unconscious. The ood stopped twitching and said, "We are the legion of the beast." The Doctor's voice was once again heard over the comms

"Alyssa what is it, Rose?" He said,

"The Legion shall be many, and the Legion shall be few." all the ood said as Alyssa took the comm from Rose,

"It's the ood, It's like something is possessing them." Alyssa said,

"Sir, we have contamination in the livestock. They won't listen to us." Jefferson said into his comm

"He has woven himself in the fabric of your life since the dawn of time. Some may call him Abaddon. Some may call him Kroptor. Some may call him Satan or Lucifer Or the Bringer of Despair, the Deathless Prince, the Bringer of Night." The Ood started advancing on the group and they all began to back up as the Ood said: "These are the words that shall set him free." Jefferson then said, "Back up to the door!" All of them did exactly that Alyssa pulling Rose along with her, Jefferson not turning from the ood pointing the gun at the Ood.

"I shall become manifest."

"Move quickly!" Jefferson said once more urging everyone to move Scooti was the first one to get to the door and tried to open it but couldn't "I shall walk in might."

"To the door! Get it open!" Jefferson yelled again,

"My Legions shall swarm across the worlds. I have been imprisoned for eternity. But no more. Then the computer said, "Door sealed."

"The pit is open and I am free!"
