A Chance Meeting Part 2

Magnus is © his player. Matthias is © me. Khira is © hir player. Rekhit is © his player.

"Ngh....oh man...what happened?" Magnus mumbled. His eyes opened to white wall covered in strange marks. He turned to see a form with three tails facing a square screen, the other female form messing with switches on a console.

"Don't get up too fast, Magnus." The three tailed fur said.

Magnus blinked and said, "Wait...I know you..."

The fur turned and said, "You should. Now do you remember our names? Or do you need a refresher?"

"Uh...Matthias and Khira, right?" Magnus managed to mutter.

"At least he can remember us." Khira said, her attention still on the console.

Matthias grabbed Magnus' arms and yanked him to his feet.

"Up ya get!" Matthias said.

"I...I'm kind of lost here. Remind me again what this place is?" Magnus said, marveling and walking around the structure.

Matthias walked up and smiled.

"Welcome to the Tardis!" Matthias said with a smile.

"It's...it's..." Magnus started.

"Bigger on the inside? Your right. In a nutshell, the inside exist's in a different dimension than the outside. So I can fit as much on the inside as I like without the outside having to be bigger. Any other questions?" Magnus asked.

"Um...a few yes." Magnus said. "Starting with that wolf that about ate my head."

"Oh her!" Khira laughed, "Sorry about her. She's just a little touchy about new faces inside the Tardis."

Magnus shook his head and leaned over the shaft leading down.

"But you called her 'Tardis'. Why?" Magnus asked.

"She is the physical manifestation of my Tardis. My Tardis is alive, and that wolf is her physical form. She doesn't like having to be left behind when I'm off visiting places, and this way, she can go with me." Matthias said after plopping in a chair.

"Wait a sec...the light! The glowing light outside my house! And that wheezing noise on the plane! Was that you two?!" Magnus said loudly.

Khira and Matthias just smiled.

"I don't even wanna know why you were spying on me." Magnus said while scratching his head, "Um...what about your age...919? You can't be THAT old...can you?"

A smile came across the red panda's face. He then got up, walked over the fox and drew a knife. He then drew his right shirt sleeve up to the elbow.

"Oh god...please! I meant no harm! NO!" Magnus begged.

The panda then drove the knife into his own paw, grunting slightly in pain. Magnus jumped back into the wall, shaking with a shocked expression. The panda's paw ran dark red with blood.

"JESUS! What the hell is wrong with you psychos?" Magnus shouted.

Khira was laughing hysterically at the fox's outburst, then calmed down and said, "Relax, hotshot! Watch what happens.

Khira yanked the knife from Matthias' paw, making him grunt again. His paw glowed slightly, little beads of light dripping from the wound, then evaporating into the air. The wound closed with a small burst of light, then his paw ceased glowing. The look on the fox's face was one of amazement.

"What you just saw was small scale regeneration, a time lord's way of giving death the middle finger. When a time lord is mortally wounded, or aged extremely, our bodies die but are replaced by an entirely new form. Our personalities and memories stay the same sometimes, but they can be changed too." Matthias said, rolling his sleeve back down after cleaning up the mess.

"How many times can you regenerate? Indefinitely? Or are you limited?" Magnus asked, intrigued now by his hosts.

"The most times a time lord has regenerated was 507, I believe, but an average time lord can only do it 13 times. Matti's on his 3rd form now." Khira said.

"What about you Khira?" Magnus asked.

"Heh, well I'm only part time lord. I can regenerate, but it takes me awhile." She laughed.

The golden wolf jumped back up out of a passing elevator. She sat down beside Matti and barked.

"I see the fox is awake. Matti? The Scaliodite is conscious, and for the lack of a better word, he's pissed. I think you better tell Magnus why he's here." The wolf warned.

The panda shot too his feet and whistled for an elevator. Khira kissed him and jumped into the shaft, disappearing from sight.

"Oh my god! Is she okay?" Magnus gasped.

"Yeah she's fine. Now come on, in!" Matthias said then shoved Magnus into the elevator. It shook violently then dropped into the shaft. After passing a few floors the silent red panda finally spoke.

"Now listen. Bringing you here was NOT my idea. It was my wife's idea, and I trust her judgement, but I'm gonna give you fair warning. The things we deal will probably give you a heart attack. I've been watching over earth for a long time with Khira and a few friends, and one thing you need to realize, is that monsters, aliens, government conspiracies, all exist. We are secret for a reason."

Magnus blinked, "But what does all this have to do with me? I'm an architect! I design buildings for other firms to situate their offices."

"An therein lies the danger. Didn't you ever wonder why Frank's mother always asked you to finish his work? To make it better?"

"Oh please, she may be the devil but she's not an alien." He said then turned to stare into the panda's emerald eyes, "oh my god she's an alien."

"Yup! Slitheen to be exact. Here have a look." Matthias said then pulled out an 8 inch metal pen looking thing with a purple light on the end. He clicked it open and set it to Holoview.

"What is that?" Magnus asked.

"Sonic screwdriver. Ah! Here we go." Matthias said.

The screwdriver flashed and a small screen floated in the air. On it, a 8 foot tall green blob with long claws and black eyes appeared. The blob made Magnus almost wanna hurl.

"That...that thing is Ms. Martin?! Aw SICK!" Magnus gagged.

"Now now. Frank's real mother wasn't a total bitch. She was actually quite nice." Matthias explained.

"You make it sound as if she's dead." Magnus joked.

"She is dead. Slitheen are ruthless mobsters from the planet Raxacoricofallapatorious...am I pronouncing that right? Oh well. What they do, is kill their victims, take their skins and wear them as suits to walk among people. They never compromise, rarely bargain, and never miss out on an opportunity to make money for themselves. It's likely Frank doesn't know, or he's a Slitheen himself. Something in your designs caught the Slitheen's attention and we wanna know why." Matthias explained.

"Wow. 7 years working with her and I hated her when she was really dead." Magnus said.

"Don't sweat it foxy. You didn't know." Matthias said then shut the sonic screwdriver, " Here we are!"

Khira was leaning against a wall listening to her music.

"I fell 700 feet then let you pass me and still managed to get here before you. Not bad for a herm am I?" Khira smiled.

"Yeah yeah yeah. Keep gloating my ring tailed mate." Matthias said. "Now, on to why you're here Magnus."

The doors opened to a room with a screen on each side, both overflowing with information on the creature, who was sitting inside a small glass box with four holes in it. He was jumping into the walls of the box trying to bust out of it. He was yelling in a strange warbling language, loudly enough to make Khira wince.

"SHUT UUUUUUUUUUUUP!" Matthias shouted at the creature.

It stopped accordingly. It just stared at the time lord, growling in fury at its imprisonment. Matthias took a breath compose himself.

"Now, I'm gonna ask you a few simple questions. Simple enough right? OK then. For every lie you tell me, and believe me I'll know when you lie, Khira here, is gonna block one of the holes you need to breathe. For every answer you get right, you'll have more of a chance of leaving my Tardis alive." Matthias explained, "sound good?"

The creature nodded.

"First question. What's your name?" Matthias asked.

"Miithosen", the creature replied.

"Why are you so intent on killing my friend Magnus?" Matthias asked.

"Kiss my scaly ass, 'ghelteo'!" Miithosen yelled back.

"Ghelteo? What's a Ghelteo?" Magnus asked.

Khira plugged a hole and said, "his kind's word for 'Prick'."

The Scaliodite coughed as part of his oxygen was cut off.

"Same question. Will I get a different answer from you this time?" Matthias' eyes were glaring at the creature.

" *gasp* *gasp* I was...contracted to kill him..." the creature gasped.

"Was that so hard? Now...next question. Who paid you to kill him?" Matthias asked.

"An...earthling...she said she would give me a warp star to sell to the black market." Miithosen gasped further.

"How could an earthling have a warp star?" Khira asked.

"Did you get a name?" Matthias asked.

"She will kill me. She will...kill you. The things I've seen her do...are horrible." Miithosen gasped.

"I survived the Time War, killed thousands, Time Lords included. Tell me scale face..." Matthias leaned in close to the gasping killer. "How does she compare to me?"

"Her...name....her name is Angela...Angela Martin...please...I can't..." the creature gasped.

Matthias whistled and the golden wolf appeared besides the box. She breathed out and the box disappeared. The Scaliodite breathed in and coughed, trying to catch its breathe.

"Remember, I'm allowing you to live on two conditions. One, I'm taking back to your home planet to answer for your crimes. Two, if I ever see or hear of one of your kind on earth ever again, your entire race will answer for it." Matthias growled.

"I...understand." Miithosen rasped.

"Tardis will guard you until we arrive." Matthias growled again.

Magnus stared at the Panda with fearing eyes. Never had he seen such kindness or courage or strength, and yet so much fury and anger. When he first met this Time Lord, he had thought that he would be a kind soul, happy and joyful, in his travels. But from what he just witnessed, he wasn't so certain. He followed the three tailed fur back to the elevator but kept his distance, keeping Khira between them.

An alarm sounded just below them and Matthias swore under his breathe.

"Ugh ill be up in a sec." And he was gone.

Khira noticed the young fox's frightened look and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Hey kid. You okay?" Khira asked.

"Has...has he always been so monstrous towards others? He seemed so nice when we met." Magnus said.

*sigh* "No, he wasn't always like that. It's not his fault either. His most recent regeneration went wrong somehow, and now he has a foul attitude when dealing with others. He was with Rekhit, a ChronoMancer, just traveling together with friends across the cosmos, and Matti's sister escaped from her temporal prison. She went insane during the final days of the Time War, and he was forced to lock her away. In his eyes, he failed to cure her and he dropped me back on earth for awhile while he searched for a way to fix her. In a final battle with her, he was wounded badly, when she tried to kill his Tardis by destroying it's heart. He took the blow and hid his wound from his friends. He realized, that the only way to cure her insanity was a controlled burst of pure, clean time energy."

"Did he find a source?" Magnus asked, ultimately intrigued.

"Yes, but the only source was his own regeneration. Rekhit formed a Time bubble, to hold her while the cure would take place. She was locked inside, and Matti leaped into the bubble with her, the negative time energy inside her being cleansed by his pure energy. He regenerated, quite violently he said, into the mean spirited panda, that is my mate. At first his mean side didn't show. It wasn't until he and I resumed traveling when I noticed his attitude flip, and even then his nasty side only shows up at random points."

"Wait a sec. I'm gonna take a shot in the dark and say that the rings on his tail? The ones that are glowing? They look like their bad." Magnus stated.

"Brilliant! I was right in saying you were clever. Yes, his tails house the negative energy once held in his sister." She said, "I believe the energies in his tails are somehow altering his personality."

Magnus turned to her, "is there a way to help him?"

"Yes. The time energy in his tails can be removed by a warp star. The exact warp star that the Slitheen have." Khira said. "When you were around Angela...or...her skin anyway, did she have any kind of jewel she never let out of her sight?"

Magnus scratched his head thinking, trying to remember. As much as he tried, he couldn't think of anything. He shook his head.

"It's OK Magnus. We'll think of something." Khira said with a smile.

"Yes you will." Matthias said behind them as they hit the control room.

"*gasp* Matti! Uh...did you here all of that?" Khira said sheepishly.

Matthias put a hand on hir cheek. "Yes and I agree with your diagnosis. The Dark time energy is changing me and I need to stop it. That alarm I responded to was Tardis' little gift to help keep my "dark" side in check until we cure me...but I'm afraid of how I'll act in the meantime..."

"We'll help you." Magnus piped up.

Both Khira and Matthias turned to gaze at him.

"Um...I mean if it's alright with you..."he said quietly, "I want to repay you for helping me."

"You sure? You could die when we attempt to obtain the star." Matthias warned.

"Are you kidding? I've always dreamed of making a big difference and traveling to faraway places! NO way I would miss this!" Magnus laughed.

"Then its settled!" Matthias chuckled, then set the Tardis in motion towards Scalic.

After sitting still for awhile, Magnus became restless, wondering where the panda and the lemur were taking him. Both were busy piloting the wondrous machine, pressing the odd switch here, pulling a wayward lever there.

"Um, where are we going?" Magnus asked.

"Where headed for Scalic, the Scaliodite home planet. Miithosen, it turns out, is a criminal on their planet, and were taking him back so he can answer for his crimes." Khira said.

"Yeah I got that part, but what's their planet like?" Magnus asked, his curiosity peaked once again.

"Well," Matthias started, "once their planet was a disgusting green mass of swamp, muck and fetid landmasses. The Scaliodites decided they wanted more than just a swamp to call their own, so they contracted a few other planets to help clean up Scalic. In a few short years, it became a beautiful planet to visit. They may be a small species in stature, but they are more than capable of sustaining a way of life similar to the people of earth."

"Wow! If they have such a beautiful planet, I wonder what yours must be like!" Magnus said.

"Khira would you check on the Kilowatt levels? They're fluctuating again." Matthias said.

"Yeah give me a sec... the helmic regulator is sticking...oh for crying out loud!" She says loudly.

She then gives the console she standing in front of a smack, and the wolf pup sticks her head out of it and growls at her.

"HEY! That hurts! All you have to do is ask nicely and I'll fix it!" Tardis says before disappearing again.

" *sigh* I'll be right back hon." Khira said then walked up the ramp.

"I wish I could take you to Gallifrey. Believe me, I would love too, but I can't. And before you ask, yes it's okay if you ask why." Matthias said cheerfully.

"Okay...why?" Magnus asked carefully.

"It's been time locked, along with everything else that happened within the Time War." Matthias explained, still with his back turned.

"Was it that bad?" Magnus asked.

"Yes...the Time Lords went to war with a race called the Daleks for the sake of creation. We lost...everyone lost., us and them. The Doctor, another Time Lord, was forced to lock the war, the Time Lords and the Daleks away." Matthias said with a low voice.

" I'm guessing the Time Lords sacrificed themselves to help save the universe." Magnus said.

This, made Matthias stop and turn to face the young fox with a few tears in his eyes. Magnus had thought he had done something wrong.

"That's where you would be wrong, kid." Matthias said, still with tears in his eyes, but never sobbing, "the Time Lords were about to initiate a Final Sanction to destroy the universe, and become some sort of 'Higher beings', so they could reign supreme. The Time Lords were corrupted by the war, made evil machines of battle. The Doctor was forced to stop them, locking them away for eternity."

"There have to be more than just you and him though! You just can't be the only ones." Magnus said, trying to reassure him.

"The Doctor, The Master, Myself and a few others probably survived. The Master is dead and the Doctor is still booming across the whole of creation, but as for others, I don't know." The time lord said with his eyes still tear stained.

Magnus' heart felt like it was breaking inside his chest. This mighty being was one of the last of his kind. A lonely vigil, watching over the wide expanse of time and space, never stopping for a reward, never staying to be thanked. Magnus could not imagine the pain Matthias has endured in his long life.

."I keep going because I have no choice. Earth isn't my home, as much as I would like it to be. I keep traveling, because looking back is so painful. My wife, daughter, and my home are all gone, and I will never get over that, but I will never stop because I want to keep them in my heart, and honor them. I see them wherever I am, and I smile because I love them. My loss, is what strengthens me to protect the whole of creation."

"I'm so sorry." Was all Magnus could say.

"Don't worry about it." Matthias said, then a wheezing noise sounded, "ah! We've arrived."

Matthias wipe his eyes on his sleeve and put his blue leather coat on. Khira was still up the ramp, and sent a message to the two furs about just going on ahead. They did so. Matthias teleported Miithosen to the control room and had Tardis closed him in a capsule from her collar. The doors opened to a shimmering city, illuminated by grand lights. Scaliodites were scurrying here and there, dressed in rather dignified clothes. Overhead, a huge ship was docked to the building the Tardis was parked in front of. The sign over the door was lit in red, green and yellow lights. The walkways were submerged in shallow waters, for the aquatic people to move in.

"Magnus, Welcome to Scalic!" Matthias said with outstretched arms.

Magnus marveled at the wonderful sights before him. He looked down and jumped up and down on the new planet he was standing on, smiling and laughing.

"Beautiful! A new sky, a new ground, new people, this is....is...I don't know what this is!!!" Magnus cheered.

"Heh easy kid, don't hurt yourself. We can't stay long. Come on!" Matthias laughed then led the trio into the building.

Inside, the Scaliodites were talking and dressed rather like royalty. Small robes adorned every one of them, each a different color. Matthias walked forward the large pod in the middle of the room. A single Scaliodite dressed in black was sitting there.

"Welcome to the Scalic Foreign Embassy. What can I assist you with?" The creature said.

"Tell whoever runs this place they've got a pissed off Time Lord in your lobby and he's got one of your lost criminals." Matthias said with authority.

"Take the silver hydroshot to the council chambers. Our king received your message and he is waiting." The creature said.

"Thank you." Matthias said.

"Hey, Matthias? What's a hydroshot?" Matthias said.

"Heh you'll find out. Ever been to a water park ride as a kid?" Matthias asked.

"Yeah, when I was seven." Magnus said.

"Well these are way better." Matthias said with an evil smile.

They walked down a small corridor.

"HEY watch it earthling!"

"Oh crap! I'm sorry." Magnus said. He'd almost stepped on a Scaliodite dressed in yellow.

"Here." Matthias said.

There was a wide room with a single shaft in the middle of it. The trio stepped into the shaft and just stood there.

"Um...what are we-" Magnus said.

"Enjoy the ride!." Matthias said then looked down. A giant shot of water was rushing toward them!

"YAAAAAHHOOOOOO!" Matthias shouted.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Magnus screamed.

"WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Tardis howled.

The water hit them and fired them upward. Matthias shouted and whooped with glee, while Magnus screamed with a little fear at their sudden wet transportation. Tardis barked happily at her sudden bath. The water carried them through a series of tunnels and shafts to the upper floors. After traveling for a few minutes, the water slowed and stopped inside another shaft, then stopped and evaporated around them.

"What the HELL!" Magnus shouted.

Matthias laughed hard at the fox's reaction.

"Aha! High powered hydroshot! Hell of a way to get around." Matthias said.

"I wanna go again!!!!" Tardis said then did a flip.

Magnus scrambled to his feet and wobbled a bit.

"About time, Time Lord!" A loud voice said.

The trio turned and saw a large Scaliodite dressed in white with a robe adorned with gems.

"Your majesty." Matthias said then bowed. Magnus and Tardis followed suit.

"I assume there is a reason you called this meeting?" The bloated king said.

"Yes there is." Tardis interjected. She pulled a capsule from her collar and broke it on the floor.

"AH!" Miithosen said as he hit the floor.

"Where do you get off not chasing the jerks that escape your prisons?" Tardis growled.

"Security! Haul that bastard away!" The frightened king said. "Where did you find him?!"

"Earth, a fully established level 5 planet, as ratified by article 47 the shadow proclamation. A criminal under your watch escaped, and was employed by Slitheen hiding on earth, and then attempted to kill the young fox beside me, then tried to kill me. A criminal who by YOUR records, escaped then stayed in your planetary vicinity for six months." Matthias explained.

"Your point, Time lord! Make it!" The impatient king yelled.

"I AM TALKING!" Matthias shouted, "Why the hell didn't you try to catch him!?"

"He wasn't important. We were more concerned with safeguarding our home against the chance of more escapes." The king said. "What's your point?"

This young man, was almost killed. The fact I had to intervene means that you should be subject to a trial of error by the Shadow Proclamation.! Maybe I should give them a call."

"NO! NO! No please! What must I do to make sure you won't call them?" He king said with fear.

"Two things. One, keep your kind away from earth for the foreseeable future. Two, punish Miithosen for every crime he has committed and stop putting it off!!" Matthias said.

"Alright! I swear!" The king sobbed.

"Never anger a Time Lord. Goodbye." Matthias said.

They stepped into the Hydroshot and were shot back to the lobby. We walked back to the Tardis and entered it. Khira was waiting.

"How'd it go babe?" Shi asked then kissed Matthias.

"Those pompous pricks weren't even worried about him! They didn't care. They'll try him today for his crimes." Matthias said.

"Calm down babe. Your anger is flaring again. Let's just head for earth and get that warp star." Khira said.

"*sigh* yeah...sorry." He said then set the Tardis in motion.

"Magnus, you may need these." Khira said.

Shi handed two strange water guns to him in holsters.

"What are these?" Magnus asked.

"Something I made for you. The Slitheen's body composition makes them highly susceptible to vinegar. Enough squirts and they explode." Khira said.

"Cool!" Magnus said then strapped the holsters to his legs. "How do I look?"

"Heh you look fine foxy." Matthias laughed.

A klaxon alarm sounded. Red lights flashed across the screen, a bunch of nines flashing across the viewscreens. After the klaxon finished, the form of Jessica Martin appeared on the screen, a Slitheen on each side of her.

"My my my! A Time lord after me? I'm so flattered!" Jessica laughed, "I've had Judoon, I've had time agents, hell! I've even had the Shadow Proclamation themselves after me, but never a Time Lord! I must say, you are handsome!"

"OY! How'd you like a vinegar enema!" Khira growled.

"Silence ringtail! My quarrel is with the Time Lord. Now, on to business. I have a price on my head, and I want to make and offer." The Slitheen said.

"Yeah I'm a Time lord and that's why I'm good, now get the hell out of that suit. You want to address me, do it properly." Matthias said.

She smiled, and nodded. What she did next, about made Magnus sick. She took her fingers and grabbed a now visible zipper pulled it, light pouring from her fore head. The skin fell and what was standing there now was a pudgy green Slitheen.

"This better?" She said.

"Quite. Now what is your true name?" Matthias asked.

"Kell hadriax Kapsacorr day Slitheen." Kell said.

"Blimey! That's a mouth full." Khira giggled.

"I think I'll stick with Kell. Now what do you want?" Matthias sighed.

"I'm offering a truce between you and I. My head may be worth a lot, but I am willing to pay you so much more. All you have to do is stay away from earth." Kell said.

Matthias laughed and said, "now why the hell should I do that?"

"Because I have enough firepower to tear this planet apart." Kell growled.

"I doubt that. You're just a common criminal looking to make a buck. Where would get enough firepower?" Matthias laughed.

"Your planet has its own curse. Remember the day the earth was moved to the Medusa Cascade along with 26 other planets? The Dalek ultimate solution? The reality bomb? Well I was on Klom when it was taken. I tapped into a transmission sent from earth to the dalek Crucible. I overheard the black human woman called Martha mention a human final option. The Oster-Haagen keys." The Slitheen smiled.

"Wait...the nukes are still in the earths crust?!" Matthias said with a surprised look.

"Of course they are! The humans never removed them. They kept them there, fearing the possibility the Daleks might return to finish the job. They even placed MORE nukes into the earth's crust to speed up the process!" Kell said.

Magnus stepped forward into view of the Slitheen. The Slitheen's expression changed to one of anger at realizing the young fox was still alive.

"I see that pathetic Scaliodite failed and you are still alive." Kell growled.

"Sorry to disappoint. Now why did you need me? My designs...do they have something to do with this?" Magnus said.

"We needed someone to build things to our specifications, but you were annoyingly curious, so to keep you from asking questions, I had my scientists create some nanomachines to make sure you designed the buildings the way we wanted them. They dug into the cells in your brain and made sure you did as we instructed. Even when you slept at the office, you worked to finish them." Kell laughed.

"But why the buildings? What do they have to do with the nukes?" Khira said with a loud voice.

"Every building is a vast Transmitter. When I input the pass code, every building we built will send an electronic burst to each nuke. They will ignite, tearing the world apart, allowing the planets core to be auctioned off to the highest bidder by us! And if our sensors detect anything that even looks like a Tardis, we will blow your precious Earth to hell!!!" Kell finished.

The Slitheen all laughed maniacally. Khira shut hir eyes, trying to block the evil creatures out of hir mind, but to no avail. Matthias' tails started to shine a ghostly purple, as his dark side began to break free. Magnus didn't know which switch to push, so he just banged on the console. The screen shut down and cooled off. Matthias' body glowed with a dark aura, his eyes closed.

"Oh no. no no no!" Khira cried.

Shi jumped in front of him and grabbed him by the collar of his coat.

"Honey! Honey look at me! LOOK AT ME!" Shi Shouted.

His eyes slowly opened, the shining emerald replaced by soulless black. Khira placed a hand on his cheek, rubbing it in concern.

"Matti, listen to me! Fight it! The darkness does NOT control you! This isn't you. Please..." Khira said, then she embraced him.

Matthias was thrown back out of Khira's arms by an invisible force, against the doors of the Tardis, against the wall, then into the viewscreen, shattering it. He laid on the floor, hardly moving.

"Matt!" Magnus said.

Both Khira and Magnus rushed to Matthias and flipped him onto his back. His forehead was bloodied, a few small shards of glass sticking out. Matthias nonchalantly pulled them out. Magnus grabbed his left arm and draped it across his shoulder, then yanked him to his feet.

"Up ya get!" Magnus said.

Khira produced a few medical supplies from Matthias' coat pockets. Shi then took his coat off and draped it across the console.

"What are we gonna do? The planet's set to blow!" Khira said.

"This is a little out of my league. I can't save Earth alone, especially in my condition. We need help." Matthias said.

He whistled for the Golden wolf, and she came to her master's aid. He picked her up and held her close, all the while whispering ever so softly in her ear. The doors to the tardis opened, the Solar System in the distance.

"Find her...bring her to me." Matthias said.

The Golden wolf ran into the darkness of space then took off faster than light.

"Agh!" Matthias grabbed his bloody head, then stumbled back into Magnus arms.

"*sigh*....I'm Getting too old for this shit." Matthias said.

TO BE CONCLUDED!!!!!!!
