The Tardis control room was dimly lit, a soft breeze blowing through it. Matthias leaning against the open doors of the Tardis, staring at the last colorful corona's of a dying star. Magnus came up on a passing elevator, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
"I thought I heard someone up here. Something wrong?" Magnus mumbled.
"No. Just watching a star die. The colors that flash just before it explodes are quite beautiful." Matthias said, not looking at him.
Magnus noticed the doors were open and walked forward to join him.
"How are we breathing?" Magnus asked.
"The Tardis has an air shield. We're fine. Now why don't you ask the real question you want answered?" Matthias said with a smile.
"You mean why has it been 3 days since Tardis took off into space, looking for a sister you never mentioned?" Magnus asked.
"First, my sister has a Tardis of her own, so it might take her awhile to find her across time and space. Second, you never asked." Matthias said.
"Khira said once that she was evil...is that true?" Magnus said.
Matthias gave Magnus a sad look and nodded.
"Before Gallifrey was destroyed, she went insane with rage. Her rage manifested itself as a horrible monster we named, The Taker. The Taker was trying to make itself immortal by draining young time lords of their regenerative energy. If she drained enough, she would of succeeded had I not intervened with few colleagues. She was sealed inside an unstable time fissure in ancient Egypt, but escaped wanting revenge. Eventually, she found myself and the people I were traveling with at the time, and she attempted to destroy my Tardis' heart. I redirected the attack at me, and it killed one of my hearts."
"And...that made you regenerate." Magnus said.
"Yes. A friend of mine, helped me find a way to help my sister. The only way was a concentrated blast of pure time energy. When the Taker blasted me, the attack somehow made me bleed pure white time energy. My friend created a time bubble to hold her while my regeneration cured her. It worked, but the regeneration went a little wrong. The Taker's dark time energy that poisoned my sister somehow transferred from her to my new tails. Every once in awhile, the energy hits me and changes me."
Matthias twitched his tails, the purple rings glowing and fading.
"Can I ask you something?" Matthias asked.
"Huh? Oh...sure." Magnus said.
"Why do you hate earth so much?" Matthias asked.
"I...I don't-" Magnus said.
"Oh stop it. Yes you do." Matthias laughed "You can tell me."
"I...I just can't understand why I got stuck on earth. Why couldn't I have been a traveler like you? Exploring and experiencing the mad and unimaginable? The things you do...saving the universe, time traveling, being just...wonderful. We people on earth must seem so small to you." Magnus sighed.
"As an old friend once said, I think you look like giants." Matthias said with a smile. "Oh look! The star's about to disappear."
The star exploded in a final exuberant display of pinkish gold fire, then bright blue, then the stardust disintegrated. A smile came across Magnus' face at the display.
"Amazing isn't it?" Magnus said.
"Heh. Yes it is. It's why I keep going." Matthias said.
A klaxon alarm sounded. The control room lit up like a Christmas tree, alarms sounding in every tone.
"An attack?!" Magnus yelled over the noise.
A familiar wheezing, whooshing sound touched their ears. After that, the silhouette of a Police box appeared and took shape. It was the exact same as Matthias' Tardis, only black, and the letters were pink.
"Another?!" Magnus said, quite surprised, "is it The Doctor?"
"No." Matthias smiled, "it's someone I haven't seen for a long time."
The doors opened and a wolf with a beautiful face stepped out, her silver fur almost glowing in the light. She had long red hair, tied into a high pony tail. Her eyes were sapphire, highlighted by the purple eyeliner she was wearing. She wore a pink shirt that was a little revealing of her...assets. Over that, she wore a black leather coat with a fur lined hood. She wore silver denim bottoms that were a little shredded as they fell to her footpaws, and were held up by a blue belt with gems and runes adorning it.
"Big brother!!!" She shouted and ran into Matthias' arms
"Akila!!! Oh I missed you sis..." Matthias said, laughing.
"How have you been? Have you been staying out of trouble?" She said pulling back.
"Um...no? It's no fun unless you get into a little trouble!" Matthias joked and patted her on the head.
"Well you've got a point." Akila laughed.
Magnus' eyes were glued to this Gallifreyan beauty. His mind was fixed on her gorgeous face. However, she caught on to his staring.
"And who are you, cutie? See something you like?" Akila said playfully.
"EEP!" Magnus squeaked then turned away.
Matthias laughed and grabbed Magnus' arms and pulled him closer.
"Akila, meet Magnus. Magnus, my sister, Akila Reign. Now you two play nice! I'm gonna go get Khira." Matthias said.
Tardis barked a couple of times and jumped onto his shoulders after trotting out of the black Tardis. They disappeared together down the elevator shaft.
Akila leaned against the console and smiled at Magnus. His eyes met hers and he couldn't look away. His heart started to beat wildly, his gut feeling tight. It felt to him as if her eyes were staring straight into his soul.
"Have you got an eyeful yet?" The wolfess said with a giggle.
"AH! Oh...I'm so sorry... I-I didn't mean...please don't hurt me?" Magnus mumbled.
Akila walked forward and backed him up against the wall. She got an inch from his face.
"Take it easy kid. How could I hurt such a cute foxy?" She said with a sultry laugh. "Now do me a favor. Try to focus from now until the earth is saved. Then maybe we'll talk. Now first, has my brother been showing a rise in aggression?"
"Yes, actually. We were on Scalic, and he made lots of threats to their king. But before, he captured one of their criminals to save me on earth, and he, um...well..." Magnus said.
"Here. Let me try memory sharing. It's an ability Time Lords have. We can share memories through a psychic link from us to another living being. Now before I start, if there's anything you don't want me to see, just imagine a door to that memory and close it. Okay?" Akila said.
"Oh...OK." Magnus agreed.
The silver Wolfess placed her hands on each side of the young fox's face and gazed back into his eyes. She whispered, "relax" to him, and he did just that. She then presses her forehead against his, and the sharing began. Images and sounds of the scene of Matthias interrogating the Scaliodite Miithosen flew into her head. Visions of Khira's and Magnus' worried face flew to her as well. When the memories were in her head, she pulled away, both of the furs breathing heavily.
"My brother has...gotten worse. The Taker's power is corrupting his innocence. I fear I might not be able to help him..." Akila said somberly. "He would never threaten another life. Not even if it were to save an entire species."
Magnus noticed a tear fall from her eye. He placed a hand on her shoulder and smiled.
"We'll find a way. There's always hope, no matter how dark something may seem. He saved you did he not? He saved me." Magnus smiled.
"...Thank you Magnus. You're a good kid." Akila said.
Khira hopped up onto the control platform and smiled at seeing Akila.
"KHIRA!" Akila shouted.
"Oh Akila! It is so good to see you!!!!" The lemur herm shouted with glee.
The two furs embraced like two long lost friends after a war. And began conversing on things past. Magnus watched them giggle and poke at each other like sisters.
"Matthias, can I ask you something?" Magnus said.
"Sure." Matthias grunted.
"Your sister is absolutely the most beautiful creature I have ever seen. Is she, um...traveling with anyone?" Magnus sputtered nervously.
"No she's not with anyone. Neither in the traveling sense nor the relationship sense. Just be careful though." The panda said, "A life with a time lord isn't an easy one."
"Hello? I've been traveling with you? If I haven't gotten used to things by now, I don't think I ever will!" Magnus laughed.
Tardis poked her head up over the edge of the shaft and trotted to Matthias' side. She pawed at his feet and whimpered.
"Master? Did I do good?" The wolf pup said.
"Oh sweety... you did perfect in finding her. You are such a good girl." Matthias said scratching her ears, "What would I do without you?"
He picked her up and started rocking her back and forth slowly. The pup yawned and curled up lazily in the time lord's arms.
"I'm tired. Can I sleep now?" The pup whined.
"Go ahead. I'll wake you if I need you." Matthias said.
"So! Shall we get down to business?" Khira said.
"Yes! We shall!" Akila said happily.
"The nukes that unit placed below the earth's crust are still there. The Slitheen are promising to detonate them if they detect a Tardis. I've tried repairing my chameleon circuit but the memory drive was wiped after a little problem on Centauri. Any ideas sis?" Matthias said.
"Definitely a problem. And my chameleon circuit is fried too. Maybe we could use the solar flares happening in an hour to mask our approach. The radiation should give my Tardis an extra boost in power. Land your Tardis inside mine, OK?" Akila said.
"Okay. Go reduce your shields." Matthias said.
Akila darted into the black Tardis. A small beeping was heard, and Matthias put the Tardis on auto-teleport, his Tardis teleporting inside Akila's Tardis. The trio stepped into the white wolf's Tardis, the interior identical to that of a Victorian era interior , the consoles steampunk in design. Also, there was no elevator shaft, but a big pad with rings of light flying from it every now and again.
"Wow. You always were the lover of rustic charm! Very beautiful!" Matthias said.
"I'm so fond of the way my girl looks! And I'm not gonna change it either!" Akila smiled, setting stabilizers here, flipping force fields there.
"I'll never get used to time lord technology." Khira mumbled, marveling at the structures.
Akila laughed with glee, jumping here and there flipping more switches and pressing more buttons. Various lights flashed, indicating the route the Black Tardis was taking.
"We'll slingshot around the sun, the solar radiation boosting our speed and hiding our approach. We should be arriving at Oster-Haagen station one in about ten minutes, so grab what gear you need and be ready." Akila said.
"OK sis. Magnus you come with me. Khira, would you do me favor and sync My Tardis' systems with Akila's?" Matthias asked.
"No problem hon." Khira said and the two kissed.
The young fox and the panda walked into the white box together.
"I want to take the nanomachines out of your head, for the fear of the Slitheen tracing you." Matthias said. "Will it hurt?" Magnus said.
"It might, but if we don't they could turn on the self destruct in them all and kill you. And I promised to keep everyone who travels with me safe. But the choice is ultimately yours." Matthias stopped and said.
"OK, but I know I ain't gonna like it." Magnus grumbled.
They continued down the elevators, hopping from one passing lift to another. They finally reached a door with a red cross on it. Matthias opened the door, the interior similar to that of an earthly operating room. A lone table was in the center of the room, various instruments resting on the small table next to it.
"OK my friend. Just lay on the table." Matthias said, and the young fox did so.
Matthias injected a small anesthetic, Magnus relaxing.
"Now, the nanomachines are gonna exit through your skull. When they do, you'll feel a small twinge of pressure. After that, I'll give you one more anesthetic. Then, the nanomachines will exit through your scalp, and that will be the more painful part of the procedure. This shouldn't take more than about 5-10 minutes."
"Thanks for the explanation, though I could have done without. Now will you get this stuff out of me?" Magnus laughed.
"Oh alright." Matthias said, then walked to the fox's head was, "In three...two...one...NOW!!!"
Matthias pressed the on switch of the device he held against Magnus' head. The young fox grunted and growled in pain as his scalp bubbled, the nanomachines escaping from his skull and being drawn out of him.
"Easy kiddo! Almost there!" Matthias said softly.
Magnus felt like his head was gonna explode. His heartbeat raced with fear for his life. He had never felt this much pain. Finally, Matthias turned off the machine and gave it a rest.
"AAAGH! Ah...oh god...please no more..." Magnus pleaded.
"We have to finish this. If we don't the nano's will kill you." Matthias explained.
"No...no please..." the fox pleaded with tears.
Matthias took another syringe and injected a stronger anesthetic. He took a new device from the table, one that looked to be a clear cone with his sonic screwdriver attached to a high tech vacuum.
"I know this hurts, but for your sake I have to take them out. I've already taken too long in finishing." Matthias said, "I'm sorry."
"NO! NOOO!" Magnus yelled.
Matthias didn't bother with a warning, he just activated the device. Magnus howled in pain, tears falling from his eyes. His head was on fire with immense pain, all the while the nanomachines were bleeding through his scalp. A green mist escaped after the nanomachines were all gone, turning Magnus' brown hair green in some places. Finally, Matthias finished the procedure, and took away the device. Magnus grabbed his head in reflex, hoping to protect himself from further agony.
"Easy kid...it's all over now. They're all gone." Matthias said softly.
"You asshole...I TOLD YOU TO STOP!!!!" Magnus roared.
"If I had, YOU WOULD BE DEAD!" The Time lord roared back.
Magnus jumped from the table and tried to run for the door, but the pain hit him again and he collapsed, holding his head.
"AGH! Ahh...the anesthetic isn't working..." Matthias moaned.
"Your body burned it up dealing with the pain during the procedure. If I hadn't have used it before I started, your heart would have stopped. Now come here." Matthias said then picked up Magnus, "I've got you. It's okay."
Magnus go to his feet, stumbling a little. He looked at his reflection, seeing the green in his hair. He pulled and rubbed at it, thinking it would come out.
"What happened? My hair is green in places..." he said still pulling at it.
"The nanomachines were used to operating in your brain tissue. When I removed them, I had intended on getting them out as fast as I could. But they were left under your scalp too long. They couldn't cope with the change in environment, and started degenerating. The power cell's liquid in each one leaked out and turned your hair green. It's not toxic, so you'll be fine." Matthias said.
"I'll need a haircut. I look ridiculous with all this green. A little would be fine." Magnus mumbled.
Matthias whistled and the room changed to what looked like an old time barber shop.
"The main barber program will cut your hair any way you like. I need to get back upstairs. Alright?" Matthias said turning for the door.
"I'll be fine." Magnus smiled.
Back upstairs, Matthias met up with Khira. She was connecting various cables and re-adjusting certain systems.
"Is everything alright?" Matthias asked.
"I should be asking you that! What the hell was that screaming? Is Magnus OK?" She asked.
"He's fine." Matthias said, sighing. "I tried to make the procedure as painless as I COULD make it, but it still hurt him."
"Are they all gone? The Nano's I mean." Khira asked.
"Yes, but like an ass I left them under his scalp too long and the nano fuel leaked and turned parts of his hair green. He's getting a haircut now." Matthias said, checking the power levels.
"Awww! I loved his hair." Khira said.
Magnus hopped up on the platform in his street clothes with two water guns strapped to his legs. His hair was half the length of its original length, spiked at its ends. The tips were green.
"On the other hand...he looks rather dashing now." Khira said whistling.
"Like it? Yeah I chose the doctor's tenth incarnation's hair. It feels a lot better too! Tardis met me downstairs and gave me these" Magnus said.
"WOW! You look great!" Akila said, poking her head in, "We've landed by the way. The station is deserted."
The group had a look at the screens. The castle complex had fallen in some places, but the doors was still visible. Matthias adjusted the controls and the lights dimmed.
"OK. Let's move. Khira, keep your scanner ready. Magnus, you see a Slitheen, you blast it. Sis, do you know the codes?" Matthias said.
"Duh! I'm always prepared." Akila said.
"What about me?" Tardis said, walking up to Matthias and pawing at him
"Honey, I need you to stay here and hide the Tardises, in case the Slitheen catch us." Matthias said, petting her.
"OK. I understand." The pup said.
"Good girl." Matthias said, kissing the pup's nose.
The group walked out of the Black police box. It was a still morning, mist rolling through the forest and across the glades. A soft rain fell as well, a soft sound being heard.
"The scanner says one of the main nukes is about 2 miles below us. There are over a hundred power cables running in every direction, to the other nukes I should think." Khira said.
"Okay then! No use just standing here." Magnus said.
Matthias led the way up the steps and into the complex. The rubble blocked most of the passages, due to time and weather. Akila knocked her head on some low hanging branches, making her swear under her breath. The air was musty, the smell of damp rock rampant throughout the complex. The room they found themselves in seemed to be a torture chamber but it was empty. Matthias sniffed the air and his gaze fell on the only thing in the room: a large dresser against the wall.
"AH! Here we are." Matthias said.
He banged against a panel and it whined as it slid away. A hand print pad lit up, asking for a hand print. Matthias smiled and slid open his screwdriver. The pad scrambled with numbers and letters, then finally the words "WELCOME, MARTHA JONES" flashed on the screen.
"WELL! I thank you for showing us the way!!!" A voice said.
Turning, the group saw Kell Slitheen, along with three other Slitheen standing with her. Two were holding blaster-like weapons.
"I must say it was difficult to track your sister's infernal Tardis. Solar rays, quite clever! Now if you will kindly move aside, I have a planet to destroy." Kell laughed.
"You disgusting piece of garbage!" Magnus Bellowed.
Kell turned and gazed at the young fox.
"Excuse me?" Kell growled.
"I said...Disgusting...Piece...OF GARBAGE!!" Magnus yelled again, "you took my work away from me. Made me feel like I was nothing! You killed an innocent person and took her place to use me. I've had enough of your bullshit!!"
Magnus drew the water blasters from his holsters and opened fire on the Slitheen holding weapons. They screamed as the exploded in green goo. Kell managed to escape in the lift that led to the activating station. Matthias punched the third Slitheen across the face, making it blindly claw at the air. He missed Matthias easily, throwing another claw in an attempt to kill him. Akila jumped in and grabbed Matthias' arms and swung his feet at the Slitheen's head. The Slitheen hit the floor hard, but only for a moment.
"Khira! Take Magnus and get the hell after her! We'll take care of ugly here!" Akila yelled, then dodged a swing.
"Come on kiddo! You and me!" Khira said.
The two dove down into the shaft.
"So what are gonna do when we catch her?" Magnus said.
"I'm gonna give her an offer to leave this planet." Khira said, opening the doors.
"And if she doesn't?" Magnus smiled.
"Then you can turn her into goo." Khira laughed.
They raced down the corridor, passing various rooms with U.N.I.T. marks and warnings. They finally reached the control room; they could hear Kell laughing inside. They kicked the door open together.
"KELL!" Magnus called.
She stopped mumbling to myself and turned to face the pair.
"Too late Time Lord! Once the timer runs out the nukes will ignite!" Kell laughed.
"Kell you have a choice. Your other Slitheen buddies are dead and you are alone. You can just leave. Leave the Earth and never return here again." Khira said, "Or, my little friend Magnus here is gonna turn you into goo and paint the walls with it.
"If I am to die, then you will burn with me! BURN IN HEEEEELLLLLL!" Kell screamed.
Magnus blasted her, and she screamed as she exploded, green goo covering Magnus and Khira.
"AWWWWWW!!!! I loved this outfit!" Khira whined.
"How are we gonna stop the timer?!" Magnus said.
"I Don't know, but we've got exactly 10 minutes to find out." Khira said, cracking hir knuckles.
Akila and Matthias hit the wall and ducked as the Rabid Slitheen slashed the wall where their heads once were. Matthias jumped on its back and started hammering away at its head. Akila kicked it in the stomach repeatedly until it knocked her back with a swing. Matthias lost his grip and it backed into the wall, trying to flatten The Panda.
"You filthy Time lords are no match for me!!!" The monster bellowed.
"OK sis...new plan..." Matthias groaned.
"I'm all ears Matti!" Akila hollered back.
He whispered into her ear of his intentions, making her giggle.
"NOW, AKI!" Matthias yelled.
Akila made a face at the Slitheen, making it roar and charge at her. She dodged and it stopped before it went through the window. The two Time Lords roared and charged. They jumped and tackled the Slitheen through the window and two stories to the ground. A piece of wood skewered the Slitheen, making it gurgle and gasp as it died.
"OOOOOOWWWW! Damn That hurt!" Akila squealed.
"Count your blessings and be thankful you ain't dead Aki!" Matthias said. "Now let's get to the activation room!"
"AHHHH! Nothing's working!!!!" Khira said.
"Damn it, if only we had the screwdriver!" Magnus said.
"You mean this one?" Matthias said coming up to the console.
He tried the manual override , but to no avail. It needed an eye recognition to accept it. He tried the failsafe shutdown, but it also needed a eye scan.
"AWWW COME ON! Give me a break here. Come on doctor! What did you teach me? What do I do?" Matthias said.
Then it came to him!
"YES! I've got it!" Matthias shouted.
"You mind telling us?" Khira said.
"The entire system runs on a closed Deadlock Circuit. If I can re-route every bit of power I can to that circuit, it will overload the system and trigger a self destruct of the complex!" Matthias said.
"And in turn setting off the bombs!" Akila said.
"No! Because, the system will cut off the ignition sequence, if there is an overload in any part of the complex. The self-destruct will destroy the complex and all power to the nukes!" Matthias explained.
"3 minutes! Hurry!!!" Magnus Shouted.
Matthias set the power levels to transfer to the ignition station, and kick start the overload. A Klaxon alarm sounded and red lights flashed. The ignition sequence stopped and a timer for the self destruct flashed: only 2 minutes remained.
"EVERYONE OUT! NOW!" Akila yelled.
The group made it upstairs, but the Slitheen that Akila and Matthias took care of was standing in there way.
"Akila, get them out." Matthias said.
"OK...you be careful Matthias." Akila said.
"Always." Matthias said with a wink.
The three made their way around the monster. It stared at Matthias with blood in its eyes. Matthias took his coat off and threw it into the corner. The rings on his tails glowed brightly and his head was ringing with the voice of the darkness inside him.
"I will enjoy ripping your head from your shoulders, you filthy bastard!!!" The Slitheen bellowed.
"You have no idea what I'm capable of. What happens to you now, is your own doing." Matthias growled.
The fur on his body turned from red to pulsating purple. His eyes turned from emerald to glowing crimson. Inside his head he spoke with the Darkness.
*At last we can speak.*
"I am offering you a truce. You have been fighting me for control for too long. This is MY body. I'm not afraid to end my own life to save the universe from you." Matthias growled.
*Oh my dear Matthias. I could have killed you at any moment. I am merely testing you for the tribulations to come. I have existed outside time for many years, and I infected your sister for the sole purpose of meeting you. I apologize for what I did to her. Now I will lend you my power whenever you need it. But remember, I will always be watching...*
"Fine." Matthias said.
Matthias unleashed a loud roar, exposing sharp fangs. His three tails morphed and divided into nine glowing purple tails. Gallifreyan runes covered his body.
"I'm bored! Let's have some fun!" Neo-Matthias roared.
The Slitheen charged and hit Neo-Matthias across the head. Matthias grinned and snapped off the monsters arm. The Slitheen didn't bat an eye and jabbed at Matthias. He missed, Matthias laughing while missing every one of the Slitheen's attacks.
"Come on! Can't hit a moving target?" Matthias laughed.
The Slitheen grabbed Matthias' head between its claws and tried to break his neck. Matthias just smiled. His tails extended and snaked their way around the Slitheen's Body. The tails then flashed brightly then exploded the Slitheen into pieces.
"I'm done playing with you." Matthias growled.
"Everyone inside the Tardis!" Akila yelled.
"But-" Khira said.
"Matthias will be fine now IN!" Magnus said.
The Doors slammed shut and Tardis Jumped out of the white police box.
"What happened? Where's Matthias?!" Tardis barked.
"EVERYONE HANG ON!" Khira shouted.
The Black Tardis Shook with the explosion of the complex, everyone falling to the floor.
They all got to their feet and rushed outside. The entire complex was in ruins. The elevator that led to the underground complex was twisted and contorted with the force of the explosion.
"Look! The Slitheen's body...or pieces of it anyway." Magnus said.
"Hey! Matt's coat!" Akila said picking it up.
"But where is he? BABY!!! Matthias!!" Khira called.
A pile of rubble, dissolved into dust, a large purple bubble, with Matthias inside it.
"Is...that Matthias?" Khira said.
"The darkness in him took over..." Akila growled.
"And I learned to control it." Matthias said, "and I took the liberty of destroying the nukes. They are no threat to anyone now."
Matthias stepped out of the bubble and walked over to her and smiled.
"The darkness said he gave his power to me, for the sole purpose of protecting everyone. I don't know why but," Matthias said the looked at his tails, "I'm at least glad I'm back to normal. Let's go."
***A FEW HOURS LATER, IN DUBLIN, IRELAND.***
"Yes, I would love for you to come with me!!" Akila giggled.
Magnus and Akila hugged. Matthias came around the corner and saw them laughing.
"So what's all this then?" Matthias said quietly.
"Uhhh...I invited Magnus to come with me." Akila said.
"Magnus come with me. We need to talk." Matthias said.
The duo walked up on the rafters and sat there together. Matthias took out a key on a purple velvet necklace and handed it to him.
"Take this. As long as you wear this, the Power of a Time Lord will protect you." Matthias said.
"A Key?" Magnus said.
"It's a remnant of the Gallifreyan's regeneration cycle inducer. It has a limit of 5 regenerations. I managed to make a few before Gallifrey was destroyed. The Doctor Has one, My Sister has one, and now you have one. As long as you have this, you are a Time Lord by right and by experience." Matthias said.
"Me? A...Time Lord?" Magnus said with a smile.
"But I am giving you this only because I want you to protect my sister when you travel with her." Matthias said.
"I promise. I'll make you proud." Magnus said, putting on the key.
The two walked back to the black Tardis.
"Now you two take care of each other. Magnus, you hurt Akila, and I'll make sure Tardis eats you for lunch! And Akila?...try not to ride him too hard, eh?" Magnus said.
"Hey! Don't I get to say goodbye?" Khira laughed coming round the corner.
"OOH! Khira I'm gonna miss you!" Akila said hugging the lemur.
"Heh I'm gonna miss you too!" Khira said, hugging her back.
Magnus walked into the Black police box. Khira walked back into the White police box.
"Well, brother of mine! It's been fun." Akila said.
"It Has been one hell of a ride! Let's do it again someday." Matthias said.
The siblings hugged and said they're goodbyes and entered their own Tardises. The Black one took off and disappeared. Then the white one disappeared.
"So honey...what now?" Khira said, petting the sleeping wolf.
"Well, I figure we could pop back and say hi to Cleopatra." Matthias said, locking in coordinates.
"Why Not!" Khira said.
"So Akila...What now?" Magnus said.
"Magnus, we can go anywhere and do anything. The universe is our playground." Akila said putting and arm on his shoulder.
"I think I'm going to enjoy all the running." Magnus said, smiling.
"Well that's how it all started! Stealing a box and running away." Akila smiled. THE END!
