POV Daryll

I watched helplessly as Ceris fell from this room. "NO!" This doctor called. He hit a few controls and the door closed. "Come on, old girl, don't be like this," he said.

The whole room shook and I fell back into a wall, "what is happening? Can you please explain?" I asked.

The blond-haired man quickly moved around the controls, "oh dear. Oh Daryll right, a quick catch up, the TARDIS is crippled, and we're going to crash," he said.

"Crash! Crash where?"

The doctor clicked a few more buttons and the controls went dead, the up and down thing in the middle cracked, smoke started to leak out of it. The doors opened, "out quickly! This smoke will be toxic to human and time lord lungs," I didn't question it. Just followed him out.

We were in an Alliy, I turned to look at the ship we were crashed, and there was just a blue box. "Were's the ship?" I asked.

The doctor closed the doors of the box, "right here, this is my ship. The TARDIS," he said. "now where are we?" He asked.

I smiled, "With any luck, we'll be frostbourne, Patrick will short is out in no time," I said walking out of the ally.

The doctor tried to me, "Wait, Daryll this isn't your...." We both froze. frostbourne was in ruin, builds collapsed, Nether rack and soul sand covered the ground.

"I Assume this is wrong?" the Doctor asked, looking about, there was nothing. none life just the stench of death and decay, I rushed towards the dreadfort calling out for Patrick or Azura for anyone.

I stopped seeing an armoured body, the remains of the body were unrecognisable but the amour, the armour I know all too well, Patrick, I fell to my knees, "No, No, NO!" I hit my hand on the ground.

The Doctor came over to me, "Daryll, I'm so sorry," The Doctor said.

I turned back to him, "What is this? is the future? this is how it ends?" I asked.

The Doctor shook his head, "No, Daryll, no, this isn't right, not at all. I promise you that I can fix this," he said. he pulled out a small circle from his pocket, "We need to find Ceris before we can leave, but can't until the.."

I felt a ping of anger, my best friend's body was in front and he was talking about that damned blue box. I pushed the doctor back, "My friend is dead, and all you want to do is talk about that BOX!" I yelled at him.

to my surprise the doctor didn't push back, he looked down, "Daryll, I can fix this I swear, But I can't without Ceris, we need her and the TARDIS, then I promise you, your friend won't die," The Doctor said. his eyes weren't lying, his old sad eyes.

"How? how do we start?" I asked. my hand rested by my side, ready to flick to my gun in a moment.

the Doctor looked at the metal circle, "This way," he said pointing towards where the main gate would be. it was then I heard, I tackled the Doctor down as a fire charge exploded, "Oh dear what was that?" the Doctor asked.

I rolled forward and fired my pistol at the lone ghast, it screeched as the projectile hit into it. "Ghasts, not good, we should find cover," I said. "Doctor?" I asked.

"Daryll, we might have an issue," the Doctor said, I turn and froze. 4 pigmen, and 3 zombies pigmen, stood there, the one in front in armour, "Hello I'm the Doctor, who would you be?" The Doctor asked pointing his hand out.

the pigman slapped the Doctor, "Humans do not have the right to speak to a nether commander," the armoured pigman said.

the Doctor rubbed his face where the pigman hit him, "now, that was unnecessary, To start off with, I'm not human, I'm a timelord, and second is that any way to treat someone trying to be nice," he said. he was going to get himself killed.
