Morgana had been trapped beneath the world for too long.
Too long to taste sweet fresh flesh.
Too long to know the passage of time.
Too long to hear the screams of her victims
But not too long to remember her foes.
Her enemies.
Her Toy.
Then came the Frabjous Day.
She heard the four heartbeats of Time Lord, and she sang.
==TTI==
BAM
BAM-BAM
BAM
BAM-BAM
BAM
BAM-BAM
The three Ood fell. Dead.
A gun was in my hand, still smoking.
As soon the Ood hit the ground, I ran to them.
One in the head
One to the heart
One to the second brain.
Not a perfect double tap, but one must compensate for alien biology.
Jefferson and his fellow guard were gawking at me as I tucked the glock away in my hoodie pocket. They had taken too long to fire- in my opinion at least.
"Since when did you have that?" Jefferson asked, meaning the gun.
"Alouette, gentille alouette. Alouette, je te plumerai." I sang instead of answering. 'May this song sing you to sleep, Faithful Ood.' I continued to sing until the Ood's eyes all slid shut.
"We're stabilizing. We've got orbit." Zach cheered in relief.
Rose ran past us, going to the comm unit. "Doctor? Doctor, can you hear me? Doctor, Ida, are you there?"
As I stood up, I took a stance behind the fallen Ood. My hand went to rest on my gun.
"Open door 25."
Jefferson and the guard turned to the door. I was finishing the prayer.
"It's me!" Danny shouted as he came running in. "But they're coming." He warned while closing the door behind him. "It's the Ood. They've gone mad."
"How many of them?" Jefferson asked.
"All of them! All fifty!" Danny answered.
"Danny, out of the way. Out of the way!" Jefferson pulled Danny aside.
"But they're armed! It's the interface device." I locked the gun, preparing to aim it at the first Ood that walked up. "I don't know how, but they're using it as a weapon."
"Open door 25."
Jefferson opened the door. The first Ood reached out for his guard.
BAM
BAM-BAM
The Ood fell back into a comrade. It pushed him aside, marching forward. I fired again, which gave Jefferson to start firing as well.
The Ood all fell.
"Seal door 24. Seal door 23." Jefferson ordered to the computer.
I walked up to the Ood, giving the song in quick prayer. The guard gave me a confused stare.
