The Doctor and the Demigods of Rome

Goodbyes

Oceana and Eon delivered the news over breakfast. The Doctor had added a cafeteria to the TARDIS so they could all eat at the same place rather than throughout the town like they had been, and just having people congregate at one place to get news and train.

"So Octavian has been kicked out?" a small little son of Apollo asked. He was about twelve, and one of the few Romans in his cabin.

"Yeah. He's been kicked out." Eon gave the news with a straight face on, knowing that once all their problems were gone here, she would have to go back home with her cousins.

A cheer erupted through the small, blue box. A good thousand demigods and half that many magicians all cheering at once, the sound was heard by passers-by.

"That's not what was supposed to happen!" Devraj yelled out to Kaysen, his voice barely audible over the sound. "My mom was supposed to lose the baby in a battle against Rome."

"The battle wasn't a fixed point!" Kaysen yelled back, failing at calm down the Egyptian. "The miscarriage is, though. She'll lose the baby before it's born."

Devraj calmed slightly, then went back to his stiff composure. Just like any crowned prince should be, he remained straight faced in the chaotic jubilee that surround them all.

"Shall we pick up the little teddy-bear murdering blonde?" Oceana asked, causing a louder cheer to erupt. The Kane siblings were cheering alongside the Jackson couple, who's child was playing with the Princess of Egypt. Eon smiled at the sight, looking down from the small stage. This was her home.

How could she leave?

"Doctor, Kaysen, River," Oceana yelled, catching the attention of the three. "Start 'er up!"

The three got up and another cheer arose. The Ponds followed, looking at the three, noticing something they didn't before.

The three looked like a family.

The Doctor had his arm around Kaysen, who glared up at him, annoyed that he was messing up her ginger hair. River smiled at the two, laughing at her Doctor.

"Rory, I think we're grandparents," Amy whispered to her husband, who was noticing the same thing.

"But- but Kaysen is the Doctor." The flustered man responded.

"No, she came out of the Doctor."

Realization hit Rory at that. He was a grandparent. Yet another child in his life that he missed seeing them growing up. His shoulders sagged at the thought.

"Once we're done traveling with the Doctor for good, we're having another kid," Rory said. "I hate having our family growing up without us seeing them."

"Agreed."

--LINE--

The Doctor, Kaysen, and River were flipping switches and pushing buttons to boot up the TARDIS. Their destination: just beyond the boarders of Camp Jupiter.

The plan was that Octavian will see the TARDIS and go inside to extract his revenge upon the "wretched" Kaysen. He'll then be put into the custody of Camp Half Blood, and everyone will live happily ever after.

"Don't turn on the stabilizers this time!" The Doctor told River, remembering the incident with the angels before the universe was reborn with a new Big Bang.

"Whatever..." Kaysen grumbled as she flipping another switch, and the TARDIS began to fly through time and space.

Everyone, in the console room or beyond, clutched to objects, trying not to fall over. A few were unsuccessful in the cafeteria, and fell right upon their fallen food.

"So, what happens after this?" Kaysen asked as she ran around to flip switches and push more buttons in flight.

"I don't know..." The Doctor said after a second.

River was holding back information they both knew. They were about to press more information out of her when they landed.

"Oh, look. We're here." River said, leaning against the rail alongside her mother and father.

Kaysen sighed and sat down on the stairs, dreading what she knew was going to happen. If River was holding back information, that means that it is either related to the future of the Doctor, or it was bad.

"So, how much longer do you think this will take?" Kaysen asked, looking up at her companions.

The door then began to shake, as though someone was trying to force their way inside. Suddenly, it flew open, and standing there was a dripping wet Octavian, his ceremonial dagger in hand as the rain outside poured down heavily.

His blue eyes were filled with madness, craving for the blood of the one he blamed: the ginger girl.

He ran towards the girl who decided to stand up once the door was open. She attempted to grab the sword at her side to defend herself, but the madman grabbed her arm and pulled her close to him, his dagger under her neck before anyone could stop him.

"Come any closer and your leader's throat gets sliced!" He said, shaking with rage.

The Runaway Greeks, the Seven, and the Kane siblings ran in then, and saw Octavian's knife under Kaysen's throat.

Kaysen, the girl who helped unite them. Kaysen, the girl who planned a war against a super power, and would of won.

Kaysen, the girl who should never even existed, was in danger.

"Kaysen!" Chase yelled at the ginger, seeing a drop of blood from her neck fall to the ground.

"Just stop him!" Kaysen chocked out before the knife pressed deeper.

Rory stepped closer to Octavian, reaching his hand out to his arm.

Slice.

"KAYSEN!!"

Octavian wiped the blood off his knife and looked at his handiwork. Finally, the bane of his life was gone.

Rather than being so struck with grief so much that they couldn't fight anymore, like he presumed they would be, they became enraged.

"TAS!!" Sadie yelled at the Roman as the Greeks unsheathed their weapons and charged. A length of rope snaked its way through the air towards Octavian.

The Roman fell to the ground as the runaways began to point their swords at him, all willing to slaughter him on sight if he so much as twitched.

Octavian gulped, regretting that move.
