Journey's End

Tardis...

The Doctor has golden energy streaming from his hands and head, and he, Jared, Madoka, Homura, Jack and Rose believe he is regenerating. With an effort, the Doctor turns and points both hands towards his spare hand in the jar by the time console. It absorbs it and he is released.

"Now then. Where were we?" The Doctor asked.

Jared, Madoka, Homura, Donna, Jack, and Rose are stunned.

"But things, they, um, ended up the same." Jared said, looking back at the friends he knows so well. "For the Doctor's regeneration. Why?"

Outside Kako's home...

"Exterminate! Exterminate!" The Daleks said.

"Tiro Finale!" Mami said, making an explosion happen and the two Daleks exploded right in front of Iroha and Yachiyo.

"Mami?" Yachiyo asked.

"But you're..." Iroha said.

Torchwood...

Gwen and Ianto empty their machinegun clips at the Dalek, who isn't shooting back. When they stop, they see the bullets hanging in midair.

Gwen touches the air and it ripples like water, "What the hell?"

Tardis...

The Doctor checks on his glowing spare hand, "There now."

The Doctor blows on the jar and the glowing stops.

"You see? Used the regeneration energy to heal myself, but soon as I was done, I didn't need to change. I didn't want to. Why would I? Look at me. So, to stop the energy going all the way, I siphoned off the rest into a handy bio-matching receptacle, namely my hand." The Doctor said.

"The Doctor used his spare hand, Rosie." Jared said, laughing a lot. "It was well in hand, and handy. Do you remember that adventure we had with Silica and Weiss? Christmas Day 2006? The Sycorax and the people on the rooftops around the world."

"Yeah." The Doctor said, nodding his head. "Lost my hand in a sword fight? That's my hand. What do you think?"

"You're still you?" Rose asked.

"I'm still me." The Doctor said, as he, Rose, and Jared hug.

"I don't know what my life would be without you Rose." Jared said, smiling. "And without you, Spaceman. The Golden Trinity."

"Yeah." Rose said. "I missed you."

"Me too."

Donna turns to Jack, "You can hug me, if you want. No, really. You can hug me."

Torchwood...

Ianto is checking the data banks, "It's a Time Lock. The ultimate defence programme. Tosh was working on it. She got inspiration from Homura Akemi stopping time with her magic. Never thought Tosh finished it, but she did. The Hub's sealed in a time bubble. Nothing can get in."

"But that means we can't get out." Gwen said.

"Nope. Not without unlocking that Dalek. We're trapped inside. It's all up to Jack now."

Outside Kako's home...

"Mami, you're one of the Wings of Magius." Yachiyo said. "What are you doing here?"

"Because Jared helped me." Mami said. "We're still on the same side though."

"We are not on the same side."

Tardis...

The power goes out.

"They've got us. Power's gone. Some kind of chronon loop." The Doctor said.
