Thick As Thieves - Doctor Who Fanfiction

Chapter Thirteen - Sacrifice

The Doctor lead us to a small control room where a Cyberman was standing there. "Ah, hello. I'm the Doctor and these are my friends." The Doctor said.

"How did you escape?" The Cyberman asked.

"We had help from our friend Anya here and a hair pin. Now, why did you capture us?" 

"We need people."

"For what?"

"A new race of Cybermen." Like they did with Danny. He must have been an experiment. "We need more Cybermen for an army. We have captured people from the planet below that you are on for this race. You will be part of this new race of Cybermen."

"Yeah, about that..." The Cyberman called for more Cybermen to come for us but I had different plans. I pressed a button on a control panel close to me and electricity was sent all around the Cyberman and he fell to the floor. "I have a plan." I said and started looking at security cameras after locking the door so no Cybermen could get in. "Right, the people are being kept in this prison area. If we can distract the Cybermen or stun them for some time we can let the people into escape pods and send them back to their planet. After that we can set the ship to self destruct."

"You're a genius." The Doctor praised. I was proud of thinking of the plan but I had other ideas. By doing this someone would have to stay behind to set the self destruct. There was only a 30 second warning and that wouldn't be enough time for me to get to the TARDIS but the others would. I was sacrificing myself for them. I wouldn't be able to regenerate because the blast would be too big. I was going to die for them to live.

I sent Amy and Rory to help the prisoners after I unlocked the cells and stunned the Cybermen from the control room and tried to figure out a way to get the Doctor out of the room. "Right, set the self destruct. Like you said, we have two minutes to get to the TARDIS and no one can stop the self destruct. Get ready." The Doctor said. I lied and told him we had two minutes to get to the TARDIS when we only had 30 seconds. Amy and Rory were close to the control room so I pushed the Doctor out of the room, closed the door and locked it. "Anya, what are you doing?" The Doctor yelled from the other side of the door. There was a small square glass window on the door so I opened it and looked at the Doctor. "I lied. We only have thirty seconds to get to the TARDIS. I will set the self destruct when you are close to the TARDIS but I won't have time." I started to cry and a tear started to form in the Doctor's eye. "Come with us. We can make it if you let me in!" He started to bang on the door and Amy and Rory had made it to the control room. "What are you doing?" Amy asked.

"Saving you now leave." I answered.

"Please Anya. We're the only ones left." Wait, what?"

"The only two?"

"Gallifrey has gone. They all died in the Time War and Gallifrey fell."

"Then I have nothing left to lose." I poked my head closer through the window and kissed the Doctor's cheek. "Goodbye Doctor. Now go. Get to the TARDIS." I closed the window and they ran to the TARDIS. I waited until they were close to the TARDIS to start the self destruct. I cried but I was sad and happy at the same time. Sad because I wasn't seeing them again but happy because they would be safe.
