Apocalypse Rising (Book Four)

Prologue

The Apocalypse scrambled to her feet and started fipping switches. "Give me a hand, Jack," she said, pointing to a few levers. "Set all of those back to normal."

"How did this happen?" Jack asked, doing as she said and watching as the TARDIS sealed back up, the ship gone. "Don't tell me you're the reason the Titanic sank!"

"I was there," the Apocalypse said, flying the TARDIS. "And it wasn't a TARDIS that sank it!"

Jack gawked at her. "You were on the Titanic?!"

"That was part of how Rose found me the first time." She poked her head out of the doors. "Here we are."

Jack followed her out, listening to the fog horn. "Well, we're on a ship of some kind, Titanic or no."

The Apocalypse opened the door out into the reception area, and they looked around at the crew in Edwardian dress. "Champagne," Jack nodded. "I like it."

"You like anything with alcohol involved," the Apocalypse rolled her eyes, before stopping. "Um . . . this is not the Titanic."

Jack stared as a small red-skinned alien in black tie waddled past. "Yeah, I don't recall hearing about red-skinned aliens on the Titanic." He batted a robot gold-skinned angel's halo as they passed. "And I don't think they had robots in that time period, either."

The Apocalypse crossed to a window, looked out, and stared outside. "Right," she said slowly.

Jack joined her, and his eyes widened as they looked down at Earth from where they were in space. "Attention all passengers," a voice said over the intercom. "The Titanic is now in orbit above Sol Three, also known as Earth. Population, Human. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Christmas."

"Well, this is something you don't see every day," Jack quipped.

Welcome to Book 4, starring Leven Rambin, Catherine Tate, Billie Piper, John Barrowman, Georgia Moffett, and Freema Agyeman!

OK, so I lied. I'll give you guys the prologue now, because what the hell. I'm having Harkness deprivation. These two need to be written, because they're too much fun to leave alone.

And also, the challenge for the greatest amount of comments if possible begins! And I've already got the question I will answer by the end of "The Apocalypse's Daughter."

Everybody knows that the Apocalypse's hand was NOT chopped off during "The Christmas Invasion." That implies there's no Metacrisis . . . but we will still have a Metacrisis of some sorts during "Journey's End." Therefore, the question I will answer is this.

Who is going to be involved with the Metacrisis?

I do not have the target set yet, but if you get to the set amount, I will name EVERY SINGLE PERSON that will be involved, I promise. :)

Keep an eye out for "Voyage of the Damned!" I will try and get it posted before the end of the school year, but I won't make any promises!
