Savethemadscientist: yep poor Ellie and Doctor indeed. You'll have to see in this chapter whether Rose does something stupid.

NicoleR85: thanks!

From around the reunion, Jackie stared at her husband. "Pete?"

"Hello, Jacks", Pete greeted.

"I said there were ghosts, but that's not fair. Why him?" Jackie complained. She didn't want to faced with her dead husband! It wasn't fair!

"I'm not a ghost", Pete insisted.

Jackie shook her head, still firm in her belief that he was in fact a ghost "But you're dead. You died twenty years ago, Pete", she said.

"It's Pete from a different universe", the Doctor spoke up "There are parallel worlds, Jackie. Every…"

"Doctor, don't", Melanie said quietly "let them have a moment".

"Speaking of a moment…" the Doctor mentally said before leading her a little ways away from the group. "Are you alright?" the Time Lord asked.

"I am now", Melanie replied honestly "though that pain earlier…I can't describe it but I've never felt anything like that not even when…my Uncle hurt me".

"I'm so sorry about that. Jake took me to the parallel world before I could stop him", the Doctor explained "and you'll never have to feel that pain again, I promise".

Melanie gave him a smile before she kissed him "I love you", she murmured. Rose clenched her fists at this. Sarah Jane noticed that the blonde was looking rather angry at the interaction between the couple. If Rose made a move…she'll step in.

"I love you too", the Doctor said, touching his Bonded's face "so much".

~Warehouse~

The Doctor opened the door to the battle between the Cybermen and the Daleks taking place on the factory floor. "Be careful", Melanie said, touching his arm.

"I will", he promised, giving her a quick kiss before entering the room. She watched anxiously as he darted over to a crate, grabbed two large black objects and rushed back over. The Doctor pushed the door back open, peering in with his 3D glasses.

"Override roof mechanism" Sec called and the roof began to open slowly. "El-ev-ate"

"What're they doing?" Rose asked peering over the Doctor and Melanie's shoulders "Why do they need to get outside?!"

"Time Lord Science…what Time Lord science?" the Doctor shook his head baffled, taking his specs off as the Ark and Dalek Sec float up and through the opening in the roof.

The Doctor shut the door and turned to the others "We've got to see what it's doing. We've got to go back up. Come on! All of you. Top floor!"

He grabbed Melanie's hand and they ran. "That's forty five floors up! Believe me, we've done them all", Jackie shouted as the group hurried along the corridor.

"We could always take the lift…" Jake called, popping his head out of the lift.

The second the lift doors open, the Doctor rushed out and over to the window, pulling Melanie with him. Sarah Jane placed the magnaclamps on the desk before joining him. Pete, Jackie, Rose, Jake and the two other soldiers looked out at the window as the Ark spun around, shooting Dalek after Dalek out of it. "Time Lord Science…it's bigger on the inside", the Doctor breathed staring at it in horror.

"Oh my god", Melanie said, her hand tightening around the Doctor's.

"Did the Time Lords put those Daleks in there? What for?" Mickey asked.

"It's a prison ship", the Doctor said.

"How many Daleks?" Rose asked.

"Millions", the Doctor answered.

"I'm sorry, but you've had it" Pete walked away from the window "This world's going to crash and burn. There's nothing we can do. We're going home. Jacks, take this" Pete tossed a yellow button to Jackie, who just about caught it "You're coming with us".

"But they're destroying the city!" Jackie exclaimed.

"I'd forgotten you could argue", Pete said affectionately, going over and looping the button around her neck "It's not just London, it's the whole world" he cupped her face "But there's another world just waiting for you, Jacks. And it's safe as long as the Doctor closes the breach. Doctor?"

The Doctor turned from the window, now wearing his 3D specs and a big grin. "Oh, I'm ready. I've got the equipment right here" he said gleefully "Thank you, Torchwood!" Imogen turned away from the window, not wanting to see any more of the chaos going on outside, and watched the Doctor run over to a computer "Slam it down and close off both universes"

Reboot systems

"But we can't just leave. What about the Daleks? And the Cybermen…?" Rose asked.

"They're part of the problem, and that makes them part of the solution", the Doctor said "Oh yes!" Melanie giggled "Well? Isn't anyone going to ask what is it with the glasses?" he asked pointing to the glassed perched on his nose.

"What's with the glasses?" Melanie asked.

"I can see! That's what" the Doctor answered "Because we've got two separate worlds, but in between the two separate worlds, we've got the Void. That's where the Daleks were hiding. And the Cybermen travelled through the Void to get here", he explained "And you lot, one world to another, via the Void! Oh, I like that. Via the Void! Look!" The Doctor took off glasses and popped them on Melanie nose "I've been through it. Do you see?" he moved about so that she could see the floating red and green particles dancing around him.

"It's so weird", Melanie said trying to touch the particles "What is it?"

"Void stuff", the Doctor replied.

"Kinda like background radiation", Melanie guessed.

"That's right", the Doctor said. He took her hand and spun her around "Look at the others", he murmured into her ear "And the only one who hasn't been through the Void, your mother and Jackie. But the Daleks lived inside the Void. They're bristling with it. Cybermen, all of them. I just open the Void and reverse. The Void stuff gets sucked back inside".

"And that'll pull them all in", Melanie said.

"Exactly", the Doctor said kissing her cheek.

"Sorry, what's the Void?" Mickey asked.

"The dead space", the Doctor answered, resting his chin on Melanie's head "Some people call it Hell".

Mickey looped a button around his neck "So…you're sending the Daleks and Cybermen to Hell" he glanced at Jake "Man, I told you he were good".

"But it's like you said. We've all got Void stuff. Me too, because we went to that parallel world. We're all contaminated. We'll get pulled in", Rose pointed out.

"That's why you've got to go", the Doctor told her.

Reboot in two minutes

"Back to Pete's world" the Doctor glanced to Pete "Hey, we should call it that 'Pete's World'" he looked back at Rose "I'm opening the Void, but only on this side. You'll be safe on that side".

"And then you close it, for good?" Pete asked.

"The breach itself is soaked in Void stuff. In the end it'll close itself. And that's it. Kaput", the Doctor replied.

"But you stay on this side…" Rose said slowly, starting to realise what he was saying.

"But you'll get pulled in", Mickey pointed out.

The Doctor went over to the table with the Magnaclamps "that's why I got these" he held them up "I'll just have to hold on tight. I've been doing it all my life".

"What about me?" Melanie asked quietly "and mum?"

The Doctor set down the magnaclamps and walked over to her, taking her hands "You're not going anywhere Ellie, you ARE my life now", he said.

"That's not fair!" Rose blurted out, making them look at her "I'm supposed to go to another world while she stays here?!"

"I'm his Bonded", Melanie reminded her.

Rose scoffed "I bet that 'bond' isn't real. You're just saying that to stay with him".

"It is real, Rose", Melanie insisted, stepping forward.

The blonde moved forward too "you know, we just fine before you came along and ruined it", she said angrily "I wish your uncle had killed you".

Melanie flinched from her comment "Don't talk to my daughter like that", Sarah Jane said sternly, rounding on the young woman.

"Can't help it if its true", Rose stated "you're better off in the ground", she added, looking at Melanie spitefully.

"That's enough Rose", the Doctor said both seeing and feeling how Rose's words were effecting his Bonded. The building shook bringing them back to their current situation. "Pete, get Rose and Jackie out of here. Now", the Time Lord ordered.

"Let go of me!" Rose exclaimed as Pete took hold of her arm, Mickey doing the same to Jackie. With a simultaneous press of the yellow buttons, they all vanished.

The Doctor turned to Melanie "Are you ok?" he asked, touching her face.

"No, I'm not", she replied honestly. The Time Lord pressed a kiss to her forehead.

"I want you both to take this", he said producing a yellow button from his pocket "I've programmed it to transport you into the TARDIS. I'll join you once the breach is closed".

Melanie took it "Be careful", she said. Sarah Jane stepped up to her adoptive daughter, placing her hands on the button. The Doctor watched them vanish in a flash of light before he got to work.

~TARDIS~

Several minutes passed with Melanie anxiously pacing on the spot with Sarah Jane watching. The ship's door open and the Doctor barely entered when he was almost bowled over by his bonded. "I'm ok, Ellie", he assured her.

"Is it over?" Sarah Jane questioned.

"Yeah, its over", the Doctor answered "the breach is closed". He moved over to the console and started the TARDIS up. It wasn't long before Sarah Jane noticed a bride standing there with her back to them.

"Uh…Doctor?" she spoke up, gaining his and Melanie's attention.

"What?" the Time Lord asked, shocked by the unexpected visitor.

The bride spun around, staring at the trio "Who are you?" she questioned. The Doctor glanced at Sarah Jane and Melanie both equally as shocked as he was. "Where the hell am I?!"

"What?!" The Doctor repeated, his voice increasing in pitch.

"What the hell is this place?" the bride demanded.

"What?!"

And so we've come to the end of this story but don't worry, there will be more from the Doctor and Melanie. Thank you to everyone who's followed/faved and reviewed.
