Part 4: The shadows of the Angels

All three of them walked out of the elevator into a dimly-lit room with technical equipment sitting in different areas of the room.
“Where are we?” Landon asked.
The Doctor scanned one of the computer screens as Clara walked over to a computer with a flickering image of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
“Doctor, in the laboratory, the computer screen displayed an image of the Leaning Tower of Pisa and this screen is doing the same thing. Why are both of them displaying it?”
The image appeared on the Doctor’s computer screen. Landon walked closer to where the Doctor stood.
“When the computers are woken up from their sleep mode, they’re programmed to display an image of the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Landon turned around to see the shadow of a weeping angel on a wall in the room.
“Doctor…” Landon began.
“Just a moment,” the Doctor interrupted.
“Is the photo of the tower supposed to be a screen saver?” Clara wondered.
“No, it can’t be,” the Doctor answered.
Landon watched the Doctor switching computer tabs with the sonic screwdriver. The computer stops when the tab shows the voice interface screen.
“Hello, thank you for using voice interface,” the voice said. “How may I help you?”
“No, I don’t want voice interface,” the Doctor said, trying to control the computer with the screwdriver.
“How may I help you?” the voice repeated.
“Come on!” the Doctor said.
Landon turned around to see the shadow of the weeping angel had moved further across the wall, closer to the three of them.
“Doctor, there is a weeping angel in this room,” Landon said.
The Doctor turned around.
“Where?” the Doctor asked.
“I’m not sure, but I can see its shadow on that wall,” Landon said, pointing to the shadow.
The Doctor slowly walked over to Landon’s side.
“If there’s a shadow, then where’s the angel?” the Doctor wondered.
Clara looked to the direction that the Doctor and Landon faced.
The Doctor scanned the area in front of him and Landon with the screwdriver.
“There’s another dimension right in front of us,” the Doctor said. “The angel is in front of us, but we can’t see it. The only thing we can see is its shadow on the wall. We need to find a way out of here as fast as possible.”
Clara turned around to face the direction of the elevator. Her face showed a surprised look.
“Doctor, the elevator is gone,” Clara said.
The Doctor and Clara stared at the spot where the elevator, now empty wall space stood.
“The elevator could just be disguised as a wall by another dimension.”
“What happens if we walk into another dimension?” Landon asked.
“I wouldn’t suggest trying it,” the Doctor answered. “Merging two dimensions is one thing, but entering a dimension is another thing. You may end up in a completely different location if you enter a dimension even though you think you’re entering another part of a room.”
“But what happens if I walk into it?”
“I don’t know, but I strongly suggest you don’t try it.”
Landon looked at the spot where the angel’s shadow was in surprise.
“Doctor, the shadow is no longer on the wall. It’s on the floor, but there’s another shadow right next to it,” Landon said.
The Doctor and Clara walked to Landon’s side. The Doctor stared at the two shadows in horror.
“Landon,” the Doctor began, “that is not another shadow. We need to get out of here NOW.”
“What is it?” Landon asked.
The Doctor rushed over to the spot where the empty wall was and used his screwdriver on the wall as he spoke.
“The vashta nerada. It will devour you within seconds if it comes into contact with you.”
Clara took a few steps closer to the Doctor.
The dimension next to the empty wall started to flicker to show something else on the wall.
Landon and Clara noticed the light flickering and tens of weeping angels began to appear in the location of the shadows.
“Doctor, I think we better get out of here!” Clara exclaimed.
The Doctor noticed the angels appearing he continued using his screwdriver on the wall.
“Keep looking at them!” the Doctor replied.
The flickering became more constant.
The angels moved toward Clara and Landon with rage on their faces as the light was going out.
“DOCTOR!” Landon and Clara exclaimed.
A door fully materialized on the wall.
“Got it!” the Doctor said.
All three of them ran into the room and the Doctor closed the door behind them. The Doctor locked the door with the screwdriver.

The three of them turned to examine the new room, but they were faced with 12 men in military uniform pointing pistols at them.

Part 3: the child in the house

Meanwhile the Doctor was walking down his hallway and scanning as he went. He had detect nothing behind the smooth walls. When he came to the end of the hallway and saw the door to an elevator, he walked forward and pressed the up button, he waited while it dinged from floor to floor until it arrived where the Doctor was and the door opened. The Doctor walked onto the elevator and scanned the interior as the door closed behind him and the elevator began moving. Detecting nothing he stood, listening to the elevator music. The elevator, with a surprising jolt, knocked the Doctor down. As he stood back up he noticed something scratched into the metal on wall of the elevator. It looked like writing but it was too small to read. The Doctor rummaged around in his pocket and pulled out a large magnifying glass. He held the magnifying glass close to the writing. The words, written in blue graffiti, read, “Weeping Angels in the midst."
"Ah yes, I had forgotten about the angels, I wonder how they got us here."
The elevator door opened at level 9 and the Doctor put his magnifying glass away. To his surprise, level 9 was a dark library. Nobody seemed to be present. He then pushed the elevator button for level 10 and the elevator door closed, heading to level 10.
As the elevator went up, the music stopped playing and a boy’s voice could be heard through the speakers, saying, “Mummy? Mummy? Mummy, is that you? Mummy…?” The Doctor scanned the speakers with his sonic screwdriver until the elevator door opened. Level 10 appeared to be the inside of a house from the World War II era (the same house as in “The Empty Child”). The Doctor put his screwdriver away and slowly walked out of the elevator.

As Clara walked down the hallway, the light began to flicker and then stop. At the end of the hallway, she noticed a painting with a weeping angel covering its eyes. The lights then started flickering again.
Clara stared at the angel in the painting in confusion. “But you’re part of a painting. How can you be turning off the lights?” As she said this, the flickering was more constant. Clara began to back away when she saw that the angel was moving toward her from inside the painting.

The Doctor, inside the house, walked up the stairs into a bedroom. He walked around the room, scanning it with his screwdriver. He walked toward a closet door and opened it. The closet was completely empty. He walked into the closet and put his screwdriver in his pocket and then began searching the wall of the closet.

In the hallway, Clara, her eyes transfixed on the angel in the painting, walked slowly backwards and felt a doorway with her hand. The lights were still flickering. The angel had moved further closer towards her. Clara quickly glanced at the room, but then turned her head to see the angel had climbed out of the painting. Clara, still looking at the angel, walked into the room and closed the door.

The Doctor finally opened a door in the wall of the closet, which revealed several control buttons and switches on a wall panel. As he looked at the controls, he felt something touch his shoulder.
A man’s voice said, “Don’t move or I will kill you.”
The Doctor very slowly raised his hands in the air and said, “Who are you and what do you want?”

Clara let out a sigh of relief as she locked the door behind her. She turned and then abruptly stopped, the room she had walked into was full of angels, all covering their eyes.

In the closet where the Doctor was, the man said, “Step away from the panel.”
“I have to find my friend.”
“Step away from the panel or I will shoot you.”

In the room, Clara had her eyes fixed on all the angels.
“Doctor, I hope you are working on shifting the dimensions right now,” Clara quietly said to herself.

In the closet, the man standing behind the Doctor was more angry this time.
“If you do not step away, I will shoot you!”
“Then you should shoot me because I need to find my friend,” the Doctor answered.

Clara’s eyes remained fixed on the angels. She struggled to avoid blinking.

“This is your final warning,” the man said. “Step away from the panel!”
As the man said this, the Doctor quickly looked at all the controls on the wall and pulled a lever.

Before Clara’s eyes, the angels disappeared and the room’s appearance changed to that of the kitchen in the house.

The Doctor turned around to see a man at about the Doctor’s height, holding a rifle that was pointed at the Doctor. He had a brown beard and brown, tangled hair.
“You should have shot me,” the Doctor told him.
“Get away from there,” the man angrily responded. “Who are you?” he asked.
“I’m the Doctor.”
“Doctor who?”
“Just the Doctor. Would you mind lowering that rifle?”
The man kept the gun pointed at the Doctor.
“What did that lever do?” the man asked.
“It’s a dimensional shifter,” the Doctor responded. “It brought my friend to this dimension. What’s your name?”
“Landon...Landon Trebatius.”
“Nice to meet you, Landon. Will you please lower the rifle?”
“No. Not until you tell me who you are,” Landon answered.
“As I said, I'm the Doctor. What exactly is this place?”
“It’s a virtual world. This place looks real but it’s not. You open a door and walk into an entirely new place. Same with elevators. Since I’ve been trapped in here, I’ve been running from these statues that make people disappear.”
“And how long have you been here?” the Doctor asked.
“I’ve been here for six months.”
"These 'statues' you are referring to are not simply statues. They're called weeping angels and they are extremely dangerous. Now if you will put the rifle down, I might be able to help you," the Doctor said.
"But how would you know the way out?"
"I don't, but perhaps there's a way out of here. Please lower the rifle."
Finally, Landon lowered his gun, exasperated.
"These 'weeping angels'...why do they make people disappear?" Landon asked.
As he spoke, the Doctor walked back toward the closet and closed the door for the control panel and the closet door.
"They send people back in time, so that they die in the past, then the angels can feed on the potential energy."
The sound of a boy's voice could be heard from downstairs, saying, "Mummy...?"
"Did you hear that?" the Doctor asked.
"I think it came from downstairs," Landon answered.
"Clara!" the Doctor exclaimed then ran out of the room.

Back In the kitchen Clara looked around, startled by her new surroundings.
"A kitchen? How did I get here, and where have all the angels gone?"
She walked over to the door and slowly opened it to see if the angel outside had gone to. She didn't see anything and slowly ventured out into the hallway, only it wasn't a hallway anymore, it was a parlor. In the middle of the parlor stood a little boy wearing a gas mask.
"Hello," Clara told the boy.
"Are you my mummy?" the boy asked her.
"No, I don't know where your mummy is."
"Are you my mummy?" the boy repeated.
"Um...have you seen an old man anywhere?"
"Mummy, are you my mummy?"
"No I'm not, but I'll tell you what, if you help me find my friend, I'll help you find your mummy." Clara walked forward and held her hand out to the little boy. The boy slowly raised his scarred hand towards Clara's. Suddenly the doors crashed open and the Doctor rushed into the room!
"Don't touch him Clara!" The Doctor yelled.
Clara stepped backwards in surprise. The boy approached her a few steps.
“Mummy?” he said.
“But it’s just a little boy,” Clara said.
“He’s not exactly a little boy,” the Doctor answered.
Landon ran downstairs, carrying the rifle.
“Mummy?” the boy repeated.
“A boy with a gas mask?” Landon wondered.
“Are you my mummy?”
The boy slowly walked toward them.
The Doctor ran to the elevator. It would not open. He used his screwdriver to force it open.
“Are you my mummy?”
“Get in!” the Doctor exclaimed.
All three of them entered the elevator and the Doctor pushed the button for level 11.
"Doctor, how was that little boy with the gas mask dangerous?" Clara asked.
"It's not exactly a little boy with a gas mask. This virtual world must have recreated an event from my past," the Doctor answered.
"We're in a virtual world?" Clara wondered.
"That's according to what my friend here says," the Doctor responded.
"Who are you.... and why are you carrying a rifle?" Clara asked Landon.
"My name's Landon Trebatius. The rifle is for protection."
"Were you trying to kill the Doctor with it?"
"well, I wasn't necessarily TRYING to kill him as much as just THREATENING to kill him."
Just as Clara was about to speak, the Doctor said, “I’m looking for something,” the Doctor began, speaking to Landon. “I’m not sure if it’s here or not. I’m looking for medium-sized cube-shaped object. Have you seen anything like that?”
Landon looked at the Doctor for a moment.
“I think I have seen something like what you’re describing,” he answered.
“Where?” the Doctor asked.
“I don’t remember.”
The Doctor sighed.
The elevator stopped and the door opened.
"Alright then, the next step is to find the angels," the Doctor said. Suddenly a robotic voice was projected over the loudspeaker on that floor.
"Upgrade in progress!" The Doctor and Clara looked at each other, Landon walked out of the elevator
"Well what are you waiting for, let's go find the angels," said Landon
"I wouldn't go out there if I were you," the Doctor cautioned.
"Why not, the angels could be out there."
"I think you're gonna want to listen to the Doctor, the cybermen are not fun to be around" said Clara.
"I'll take my chances." With that Landon turned to walk away, but as he did a big metal man walked into view.
"Halt, you will be deleted!" The robot said as he headed towards them.
"Landon get back in the elevator now!" The Doctor shouted.
"Yeah, alright." Landon ran back into the elevator pursued by the cybermen, Clara closed the door as fast as she could and the elevator continued to the next floor.
"So what exactly are you looking for?" Landon asked the Doctor.
"Something important. Something the Weeping Angels want," the Doctor answered.
"You said it's shaped like a cube? You looking for a cube with power in it?" Landon asked.
"Maybe I am or maybe I'm not," the Doctor answered.
"But where would it be? Could the Angels have already found it?" Clara asked.
"The elevator is going the direction where it is," the Doctor said. "We just have to find the right floor."
"Every floor is completely different and unpredictable. How do you know which one it is?" Landon asked.
"That's why I have a sonic screwdriver. But I am never going to be one hundred percent sure we're on the right floor at the right place."
The elevator door opened.

see ya next week hope you liked it.

Hi, here is the next chapter, I know you have all been waiting anxiously by your computers, well your waiting is over, here you go.

Disclaimer: Do I really need to say it? okay, I don't own Doctor who.

=============================================================

Part 2: The Laboratory

Clara woke up in what appeared to be a room in an abandoned laboratory. She looked around.
“Doctor...Doctor?” she said as she got up, but there was no answer.
Nearby, a cracked computer screen flashed as it was almost out of power. Clara walked over to the computer.
“Where am I?” she wondered.
"Let's see if you know," she said as she began pressing buttons on the computer. Suddenly a picture of the leaning tower of pisa appeared on the computer screen.
"The Leaning Tower of Pisa? Well let’s try a different button."
On the screen appeared a microphone, under the microphone it said press enter to activate voice recognition.
"Voice recognition? Well ok"
Clara pressed ‘Enter’ and then began to speak.
"Hello, can you tell me where I am?”
“Thank you for using voice recognition,” the voice said. “You are in Laboratory X.”
“How can I be in a laboratory? I was in a tunnel,” she said confused.
“You are in Laboratory X,” the voice repeated.
“Ok, tell me something else. What year is it?” Clara asked.
       "The year is 1178."
       "What! But how? There aren't computers in 1178."
       "I'm sorry, I don't understand, 'What! But how? There aren't computers in 1178.' Try asking a different question."
      “How did I get here?” Clara asked.
“Unknown,” the voice answered.
       "Fine, if you won't give me any useful answers I will just have to find my way out." Clara looked around and spotted the door, she ran over and tried to open it, but it was locked with a combination. She went back to the computer and asked.
      "What's the combination for the door?"
      "What door would you like the combination for?"
      "This door, the door to Laboratory X!"
      "Security clearance 5 is required, please log in to receive the answer. "
Clara sighed in frustration.

---------------------

The Doctor woke up and immediately stood up. He walked toward the door, but it was locked with a combination. He noticed the door had “B5” printed on it. He then walked over to a computer in the room, the screen broken and flashing. The Doctor scanned the keyboard with his sonic screwdriver. The screen quickly showed a photo of the Leaning Tower of Pisa and then immediately switched over to the voice recognition screen. The Doctor pressed the ‘Enter’ button.
“Thank you for using voice recognition. I am here to answer questions.”
“How many life forms are here?” the Doctor asked.
“You are the only life form in this laboratory,” the voice answered.
The Doctor used his sonic screwdriver on the screen and began typing on the keyboard.

In her location, Clara attempted to access different parts of the computer’s software, and each time, it displayed the message, ‘Security clearance 5 is required to access this information’. Suddenly, a message popped up on the screen. It read, “Clara, please reply if you got this. -The Doctor”.
Clara clicked on the message and typed the response message, “got it. -Clara”.

Clara’s message appeared on the Doctor’s computer screen. The Doctor used his sonic screwdriver on the computer screen again and accessed voice recognition.
“Clara, can you hear me?” the Doctor asked through the voice recognition.

The Doctor’s voice came through Clara’s computer, partially muffled.
“Doctor, is that you?!” Clara asked.

Upon hearing Clara’s voice coming through to the computer, the Doctor used the screwdriver on the computer and then spoke again.
“Clara, can you hear me?” he asked.
Through Clara’s computer, the Doctor’s voice came through more clearly.
“Yes! Yes, I can hear you,” she answered.

The Doctor accessed certain parts of the computer’s software as he responded, “Clara, where are you?”
“I don’t know,” Clara answered. “The voice recognition keeps telling me I’m in Laboratory X. How are you talking to me anyway?”
“I hacked the voice recognition system. Clara, if there’s a door where you are, does it have anything written on it?”

Clara turned around and noticed “B5” written on the door.
“It has B5 written on it,” she answered. “Where are you anyway?”
“Same location, different dimension.”
       "If you are in a different dimension, then how can you be talking to me?"
       "It's the same computer Clara, I've hacked into this one and made it project my voice, and it did the same thing to that one." The Doctor explained as he began scanning the rest of the room with his sonic screwdriver.
      "If we're in the same room then how do we get to each other?" Asked Clara.
      "I we have to find the dimensional shifter, if I can disable it than we should be in the same dimension again."
      "Right.....how do we do that?"
      "Well I've just scanned the room and it's not in here, so I'm going to try to open the door then we are both going to have to go out and look for it."
      "How do I know when I find it Doctor, what does it look like?"
      "Well I don't know maybe a switch, or a panel, or something that says dimensional shifter on it." As the Doctor was speaking, he triggered the lock mechanism and the door slid open.
     "Alright there's two hallways I'll go right you go left, then I'll come back and go left again just to make sure you haven't missed anything."
      "Got it, I'll come back here if I find anything." Clara started down the hallway, it was well lit and very clean which surprised her because it was a seemingly abandoned building. As she walked she examined the walls, but they were all perfectly smooth, no switches, or panels.

===========================================================

here is a pic for you.

Race to Infinity

Hi again! This week I will start posting a Doctor Who fanfic that me and my friend wrote, its kinda random and I think we ourselves got lost a little while writing it, so beware, there might be some plot-holes, and overall the best way I know how to describe it is wibbly wobbly timey wimey.

Disclaimer: we (meaning me and my friend) do not own Doctor who, the only things we own in this story are, Landon, the infinity cube, and the soldiers.

=========================================================
Part 1: Landing in 1178

Inside the TARDIS, a panel from the console was on the floor. The Doctor was repairing machinery in the console and he noticed Clara was reading a book.
      “What are you reading?” the Doctor asked.
      “The Hobbit,” answered Clara. "it's a story about a little man who helps a bunch of dwarfs to..."
        "Yes I know Clara, the bit about the ring was my idea."
       Surprised, Clara said, "What?!"
       "I helped him write it you know, I introduced him to C.S. Lewis too."
       "You are just full of surprises aren't you Doctor"
The Doctor only smiled in return.
      Clara watched the Doctor place the panel back on the console and he pressed a few buttons.
      “Where are we going?” she asked.
      “The year one thousand one hundred seventy-eight,” the Doctor responded. “There's something in that time era that I need to find.”
      “And what exactly do you need to find?” Clara asked.
      Before he could answer, they both felt a jolt. Clara quickly grabbed hold of a rail behind the chair she was sitting in. The Doctor struggled to maintain balance.
      Outside, the TARDIS materialized in mid-air, and flew uncontrollably.
      Inside the TARDIS, the Doctor managed to push a button and the jolting stopped. The Doctor and Clara took a moment to catch their breath.
      “What happened?” Clara asked.
      “I don’t know,” answered the Doctor, “but I think we hit something before we landed.”
      They exited the TARDIS and looked up to see what the TARDIS had hit.
        "Oops"
      “Doctor, is that the Leaning Tower of Pisa?” Clara asked.
      “Yes… Clara, I don’t think it was leaning before we arrived,” the Doctor answered.
      Clara’s expression showed that she was both surprised and amused.
"I always wondered how it got that way," she said with a laugh.
"Well anyway, follow me, I have to find something" the Doctor said as he pulled out his psychic paper.
"O come on Doctor, can't we take a look at the tower"
"Maybe later, but right now we have to go"
"What do you have to find that's so important anyway?" Clara questioned as she followed the Doctor away from the Tower of Pisa.
"It's a box," the Doctor said, distracted by his psychic paper.
"A box, that's what you brought us here for."
"It’s a special box called the Infinity Cube, it's filled with dangerous amounts of time energy, if someone like let's say the Daleks, or the Weeping Angels, were to get a hold of it, the results would be catastrophic."
"What makes you so sure it's here?" Clara asked.
"River sent me a message on my psychic paper, she said she put it here for me to pick up," the Doctor answered.
“How could she have sent you a message if she died?” Clara asked.
“She left it here before she died. The message I got contains the coordinates to the location of the cube,” the Doctor answered.
“But why in this particular time era?” Clara asked.
“I don’t know, I suppose she might have known that I needed to come here and hit the Tower of Pisa” the Doctor responded, then stopped and checked his psychic paper.
“It should be right here,” he said.
“I don’t see anything,” Clara said as she looked at the ground.
The Doctor knelt down and scanned the area of the ground with his sonic screwdriver. He put his screwdriver away and moved dirt aside from the ground to reveal a stone-shaped object. The Doctor pulled it and a door in the ground opened to reveal stairs, leading into a dark hallway underground.
Clara stared into the darkness underground. “So I guess that’s where this cube is,” she said.
“The coordinates lead to somewhere down there,” the Doctor said, standing up.

-----------------------

The Doctor held his sonic screwdriver in front of him, lighting the path in front of him with a dim green light. Clara followed closely behind.
"What is this place?" Clara asked as she looked around at the dark tunnel walls, which were covered in strange works of art.
"I don't know," he said, "but that hardly matters as long as we find the cube down here."
They stopped at a dead end and the Doctor scanned the wall with his sonic screwdriver.
“There must be something in here to open this wall,” he said.
As he was doing this, Clara noticed a dusty painting on the floor, leaning against the wall. She wiped enough dust off the painting to reveal a Weeping Angel, covering its eyes. Clara stared at the painting. The Doctor rubbed dust off the wall to reveal a very small hole. He used his screwdriver to unlock the mechanism from within the hole and the wall opened.
Clara turned to see the wall had opened. She followed the Doctor through the tunnel. And unbeknownst to Clara, the Weeping Angel in the painting uncovered its eyes.
They walked into an open circle-shaped room. At the end of the room was a box the size of a cube that sat on a large metal ledge in the room.
The Doctor pushed a small metal button near the doorway to the room and a fire lit, spreading across a metal ledge throughout the room.
Using the screwdriver, the Doctor opened the box, it was empty.
“There’s nothing in there,” Clara said.
“Somebody must have come here before we did and took it,” the Doctor realized.
“How would anyone else know that River put a cube in a hidden underground tunnel?” Clara asked.
“I don’t know, it doesn't make sense.” the Doctor answered as he looked around the room, scanning with his sonic screwdriver.
Clara walked back outside the room and noticed that the Angel was no longer in the painting.
The Doctor pointed his screwdriver towards the box. “There’s some kind of energy coming from the wall behind the box,” he said.
Clara stared at the painting, confused. “Doctor, there was a Weeping Angel in this painting and now it’s gone.”
“Say that again,” the Doctor replied, distracted.
“This painting… there was a Weeping Angel in it and now it’s gone"
“A Weeping Angel in a painting?” the Doctor said as he walked to where Clara was.
“But it’s just a painting. How could it move?” Clara wondered.
"What holds the image of an angel becomes itself an angel, in other words, the angel came out of the painting."
"But that's impossible Doctor, a painting can't come to life."
"You've traveled with me a long time Clara, you should know better than to think anything impossible. But right now the only thing that matters is that we find the weeping angels and stop them from opening that cube."
Suddenly the fire was blown out and everything went dark.
"Who blew out the fire?!" Clara exclaimed.
The Doctor's sonic screwdriver lit up the room.
Before either of them could speak, the angel suddenly appeared and then the room went dark again.
