A Time Lord's Muse (A Muse/Doctor Who Crossover Fan Fiction)

Chapter 4: Dead Inside

Chapter 4: Dead Inside

Its been a month and I haven't left my apartment. Dom had to cancel our gigs and tours due to 'the loss of my parents' and that I needed some time to be alone. The explosion was not only over the BBC news, but it also made international headlines as well. No one knew about the Dalek attack but just said that it was an technological invasion or warfare.

For me, I was still devastated and confused on what just happened. Me... a Time Lord... an alien from another planet. Even a refugee who conformed into Earth's culture. I didn't want to believe it but it's true. For days, I watched some old recordings that I manage to preserve and some that my parents kept in that blue box back when I thought I was normal. There were footage like when I was a baby, when I was in school, when I was with the sheep, battle of the bands with just Dom during my University, when Muse was still known as 'Rocket Baby Dolls', when I got married to Kate, the birth of my son who I hardly see, all of it! From the footage I see, I'm human. Just a normal human boy who wanted to make music with my friends then later down the road just got lucky.

But when the Daleks destroyed everything from my childhood, it kinda think its like a wake up call telling me that I was living in a dream and that it's time for me to wake up and accept it.

I stood up, got the guitar that my dad provided me and tried to play it for a bit. The first thing in my mind was finding where the hole for the chord for the amplifier is. The second is how the hell will I be able to escape if I also have to carry an amplifier. Then I saw an on switch. Just flicked it on and light started the glow around the neck and body of the guitar. I just played a few of the strings and suddenly, its like the sound was actually amplified, an in-built amplifier if you call it. I then saw that there were different nobs, volumes, settings and so on to play with so this may be handy. I then entered the blue box. The doors opened like it was welcoming me in its arms, like it was alive. The door then closed and I needed to find a new look since something this casual won't suffice in space.

Unfortunately though, there aren't any clothes for me. I ran around and saw different rooms but nothing involving clothes. I went back to my apartment and saw that glitter jacket and pants that I used during our performance in the Olympics, one of my greatest achievements.

Memories started to flow black in... stuff from my past. I still didn't want to believe that I was an alien. I loved my human life. It was amazing, fun and weird. The thought of leaving made me upset but I didn't have any choice. I needed to carry on what my parents left for me...

Or better yet... Find the Doctor and ask him to stop this madness once and for all! He started this mess in the first place anyway! He was the one those robots are looking for in the first place!

I got into the Tardis, got my phone and called Dom. The phone rang and he answered.

"Matt? How are you feeling?" He asked.

"Ok Howard listen up! Do you want to travel with me?" I asked.

"Travel... What do you mean? In that Blue Box?!" Dom said in a confused tone.

"Yes! I said. I need to find the so-called 'Doctor' right now!" I said. "And I don't want to do it alone!"

"Matt, even if I want to, we are going to be dealing with monsters we never heard off! We even couldn't fight back those robots back in London!" Dom said.

"Thats because we didnt had any help!" I said. "I have a weapon and as I could remember, you have that dual sword memorabilia from Japan remember?"

Let me explain... When we were in Japan to record the Panic Station music video, Dom wandered off to this anime store and bought some swords which was the last in stock. He was a hug anime fan, even when before we met. The problem was that Dominic didn't realised that those swords are real and bringing them back to the UK will be another hassle. Luckily, the guards from customs accepted his swords when we packed them in boxes and believed our story that it was a prop.

"Matt... Come on! Those swords are really expensive!" Dominic complained. "And how would you know those swords can kill robot ass?"

"Dom... If those swords break! I swear that I will get you a new sword! Same replica!" I said.

"No! If my sword breaks due to your shit, you will have to buy me a new set! Sword Art Online, Kirito's Dual Sword sword set from season 1!" Dom said.

"Is that a yes?" I asked.

"Fine, whatever! But if I die, I will f****** haunt you in all your lifespans alien!" Dom said.

By the time we ended the call, I ran to the console and tried to figure out how to use the Tardis. It had so many switches and levers that I haven't gotten a single driving lesson on this thing. I highly doubt there is even a manual for this and if there was, then it would be like a 3000 paged manual! I looked around and on the console, it had like a monitor thats like a GPS system. It had a keyboard on front of it and beside it is like a time and calendar system set to the current time. I types in Dominic's address but it required which area. So i chose his garden. I then set the time to 5 minutes ago, when we ended the phone call. I looked around to figure out how to transport out of my apartment. To the left was a lever and I pulled down. I then heard that wheezing sound and after a blink, I arrived.

I opened the door, got my guitar and entered Dom's garden and upstairs, I can see him looking at the window. He ran down and met me with shock.

"How the hell...?" He asked. "We just..."

"Just a lucky guess" I said. "Got your swords?"

"Wait what about Chris?" Dom asked.

"Chris is still in vacation with his family so now is not a good idea. Even if its a Space and Time machine" I said.

"Just... let me get my swords" Dom said with a sigh and after 5 minutes, not only packed his swords but also his clothes. He entered in the box and saw me setting the coordinates while using my laptop and the console. "So, where are we going?"

"Before we can find the Doctor to end this madness, I want to visit some where" I said.

I showed him a card my dad hid in one of the storage area in the Tardis. Him and a cowboy and behind it has the words 'Cydonia' on a date that written in an alien language but the Tardis managed to translate it.

"No! Don't tell me..." Dom said in shock.

"Thats right! We are going to Cydonia! And the year... 2000 years into the future!" I said.
