A Christmas Carol [Part 5 - FINAL]

Inside, Sardick Residence, Ice Vault, Night...

Teen Kazran escorted Abigail to her container as Lexi leaned against a pillar a little distance away, watching them as the Doctor was testing the sonic on a small fish.

"Good night, Abigail." Teen Kazran said quietly.

"Good night, Kazran." She replied, her voice breaking.

The two slowly let go of each other's hands as they backed away from each other. Teen Kazran closed the door as Abigail shook her head.

"There we go." The Doctor said, cheerful as he walked over. "Another day, another Christmas Eve. We'll see you in a minute, eh? I mean, a year."

Lexi sighed before walking over to them, but stayed silent.

"Doctor..." Teen Kazran began. "Listen, why don't we leave it?"

"Sorry, leave what?" The Doctor asked, confused.

"Oh, you know. This. Every Christmas Eve, it's getting a bit old." He replied.

"Old?"

"Well, Christmas is for kids, isn't it?" Teen Kazran said. "I've got some work with my dad now, I'm going to focus on that. Get that cloud belt under control."

"Sorry. I didn't realize it was boring you." The Doctor said, taking on a very slightly offended tone.

"Not your fault." He replied simply before he began to walk away. "Times change."

"Not as much as we'd hope, Kazran." Lexi said, finally speaking up, making Teen Kazran stop.

The Doctor glanced at Lexi before walking up to Teen Kazran.

"I'll be needing a new one, anyway. What the hell..." The Doctor handed Teen Kazran the sonic. "Merry Christmas. And if you ever need me, just activate it. I'll hear you."

"I won't need you." He replied, turning away.

"What happened?" The Doctor questioned him. "What are you not telling us?"

Teen Kazran just began to walk away.

"What about Abigail?" Lexi wondered out loud.

"I know where to find her." Teen Kazran said, not even turning around before completely walking out of the room.

Inside, Sardick Residence, Basement...

Teen Lazran closed and locked the ice vault door behind him, his eyes red from tears.

Inside, Sardick Residence...

Kazran turned to look at the portrait and saw that it had changed back to that of his father.

Inside, Sardick Residence - Past...

Kazran was dressed in sober black and his hair was slicked down. He was standing with his father, Elliot, drinking champagne. They were standing in front of the machine.

"Another Christmas Eve, Kazran. But a very special one. It's complete" His father told him. "Look at it. Sound waves. As simple as that. We can control the clouds, the fog, the fish..."

"Why do we want to control the fish?" He asked.

"People are cattle." His father replied. "If you want to control cattle, you need to control their predators... What's that face for?... Look at what I'm giving you. The sky, and everything beneath it. Only you and I can control this. This planet is ours!"

"Excuse me, father." Teen Kazran set down his champagne glass and then walked out of the room.
