They all crowded round to hug Frank, including the Doctor.
"Thank god you didn't burn alive" murmured the time lord.
"I what?" Exclaimed Frank, his memory of the possession still a little hazy.
Suddenly Ray jumped up.
"Do you guys hear that?" He said, nervously looking up.
The others listened carefully. There was an eerie whistling tune blowing frown from atop of the bridge they were under.
"The leerie!" They all shouted at once, except Frank who was still recovering his frazzled voice.
"Gerard, get Frank to the Tardis. Mikey, Ray, come with me!" Commanded the Doctor, jumping into action.
"What! No I can help fight the leerie!" Protested Frank weakly.
"You're not in a good state for a fight Frank come on" Gerard put his arm under his, guiding him back to the Tardis.
The Doctor, Mikey and Ray ran to the bridge and caught up with the flaming leerie/alien.
"Stop!" Cried the Doctor "Turn around and face us leerie!"
The leerie turned around, its mouth twisted in an evil grin, its eyes more fiery then ever.
"What are you?" Demanded the Doctor "What are you really?"
"You don't scare me Doctor" rasped the leerie in an otherworldly voice "I know what you are. Such a shame about Galifrey isn't it" it said mockingly "You're the last of your kind aren't you" it teased.
Mikey and Ray looked at each other confusedly.
"That's enough!" The Doctor seethed, blasting the leerie with his sonic screwdriver.
The leerie retorted by roaring a ball of flames into the air, splitting it's head open to let the fire inside it burn freely.
"What do you want from Earth?" Asked the Doctor desperately "Why are you trying to possess all these humans?" He gestured towards Mikey and Ray.
"Like you, timelord, I too am the last of my kind. Unlike you however, I am powerless by myself" The fire spoke as it burnt through the leeries skin and clothes completely until it was just an uncontrolled ball of flames.
"I can deploy these weak beings to my will using fire"
The Doctor gasped as his screwdriver beeped to signify that it had identified the creature.
"You're a Kankreik!" He exclaimed "But how are you so big? I though Kankreiks were only small, infrared-emmiting, pebble like creatures"
"Yes," growled the Krankiek "The Krankrieks used to be small and weak, until we learnt to harness fire from the sun through our infrared waves. Unfortunately we learnt too late as our planet was attacked by the Zik'id. We tried to flee but I was the only survivor "
The Krankiek was now a wild mass of flames, flickering menacingly towards Mikey and Ray. The Doctor kept detaining it with sonic blasts but it was becoming too powerful.
"But why do you want to use this fire to possess humans?" Protested the Doctor, trying to distract the creature from attacking his friends.
"I NEED AN ARMY!" It roared "I SEEK REVENGE FROM THE ZIK'ID"
It suddenly blasted a ball of fire directly at Ray, who squeaked and quickly ducked, only for the fire to catch his wild curly hair.
"No!" Mikey took off his T-shirt and used it to successfully smother Ray's fire.
"Why can't you just-" the Doctor frantically blasted the Krankiek backwards as he tried to distract him "Why can't you and the Zik'id just-" he dodged another fire ball and blasted the thing again. "Just- talk it out-"
The Krankiek made a wild roar as the wind whistled through it, causing it become bigger and blow backwards.
"Almost almost" murmured The Doctor, blasting it again.
And one more time...
Blast!
"AUAHGGHH!"
Splash!
The Krankiek was blasted off the bridge. And into the ink black depths of the river Thames.
