Fae'th in time...the story is waning

Test test
The TARDIS materialized next to the Pillar that was the Rani's TARDIS. The Doctor flipped a couple switches and then stared at the two entraced characters before him. He wondered how he was going to move them to the door and get them out before seeing the inside of the TARDIS. Then he snapped his fingers at the brilliant idea he had. He first made to move Bernard. He found he was able to turn the troll and ,with a little push, make Bernard move toward the door. Once in front of the door the Doctor did the same with Donna-Lé, only with the elf he gave a quick apology for grabbing the lady by her shoulders and turning her towards the door. Then the Doctor went to the door and slid back a panel. Behind the panel was a small rod held in place by two metal contacts. The Doctor grabbed the rod.
"Sorry girl," the Doctor apologized as he removed the Time Vector Generator.The interior changed from the vast space that was the control room to the normal size of a police boxes interior. The rod the Doctor removed was pointed at both ends which were covered with a small cap. The rod fit into the Doctor's pocket fairly easy, though it did make the jacket quite a bit heavier. He then saw the small half collars Shade had mentioned earlier. The Doctor slid both off at the same time and slid them in his other pocket. Good thing I like jackets with pockets the Doctor thought to himself. As the two came too the Doctor gave a loud clap of the hands.
"Right to catch you up to speed. Shaden has gone after the Rani and we are at the Palace Draconis. We are to storm the Palace, rescue Julie and escape with our lives in tact. Now there are most likely a large number of Noc guards out there so I suggest we all prepare ourselves."
Donna-Lé and Bernard looked a bit confused but decided to go with what the Doctor said and they did thier best to draw their weapons, which was not easy given the cramped quarters.
"Wasn't this room a lot bigger before?" Bernard asked.
"Just a matter of perspective. I am sure alot of rooms look big to you. Let's go...heya!!" The Doctor opened the doors with a mighty yell. Donna- Lé shot out three arrows and Bernard began to strum. They jumped out of the doorway as they did this and felt a bit foolish. To their surprise there was no one around.
"Right well, shall we go pay Draconis a visit." The Doctor stated as he strolled to the two large ornate doors that made up the entrance to the Palace. Bernard and Donna-Lé looked around cautiously as they followed the Doctor. The Doctor went to knock on the doors of the palace and just before his hand connected with the door it turned into a wall.
"That's a bit rude wouldn't you say?" The Doctor stated.
"Looks as if we will need to find another way around. I think I see a door at the base of one of the gaurd towers. We could sneak along the wall to the door. You. Doctor, and I wait on either side of the door and Bernard will start a serenade. Then when the guard comes out of the door you subdue him and I will proceed to dispatch any gaurds behind the first. We then fight our way to one of the main Palace cooridors. Then we ask the Palace to take us to Draconis's Lair, then Bernard and I will distract the guards as you sneak in and rescue your fair maiden."
Donna-Lé took a deep breath after laying out a well thought out plan.
"We could do that." The Doctor replied as he removed the Time Vector Generator from his pocket and removed a cap from one of its pointed end. Then He activated it. A laser came out of the end of it. The laser burned a small hole in the stone wall. The Doctor trailed the laser along the wall in an arch shape and the piece he cut out fell backward into the palace. The Doctor smiled.
"This way is quicker."
The three walked through the opening which started to heal as soon as they were through. The Doctor found they were in the same room with the fountain he had been in earlier. That meant he was right where they needed to be.
"Um Doctor I think I found where all the Guards were hiding." Bernard stated as he grabbed the sleeve of the Doctor's jacket. The Doctor looked at the two large closed doors that led into Draconis's lair and infront of them 40 Noc Guards and two of the Hyden beasts with riders, one on each side of the group of 40.
"That must be some companion you have their Doctor." Donna-Lé stated as she held her three arrows in her drawn bow.
"That she is my dear." The Doctor replied as he readied the Time Vector Generator. The Noc grunted and snorted like bulls in Pamplona just before they are released for the annual Running of the Bulls". That was one hell of a day the Doctor thought as he remembered participating in the event. The Noc Screamed as they charged the group. The Hyden beasts were quicker and flanked the trio on each side. Donna-Lé launched two volley's of three arrows at the beast and managed to take out both its eyes and its rider. Bernard strummed a tune on his instrument furiously as the other Hyden beast approached him. The Beast stopped in its tracks and threw its rider to the ground. It mauled its rider and then Bernard was able to direct it towards the group of charging Noc. The Doctor proceeded to point the TVG at the ceiling and in no time cut a huge circle in the ceiling. The large stone circle immediatle fell on top of the Noc and the fountain just before the hoard was to reach them. Three Noc remained standing. They immediately uttered something and the palace whisked them away.
"They are going for reinforcements. We don't have much time. " Bernard informed as they approached the liar door.
"I won't need much time." The Doctor said calmly as he used the the Time Vector Generator to cut along the side of one lair door and then the other. There was loud cracking noise as the two doors proceeded to fall forward. They landed with a loud crash and kicked up a huge cloud of dust.
"DRACONIS I NEED TO HAVE A WORD WITH YOU!!" The Doctor yelled as he stepped into the lair. Bernard and Donna-Lé took a spot on either side of the doorway and looked out into the room they just came from. Looking for signs of more guards.
"There's no need to yell Doctor. I'm right here." Draconis stated. He was sitting on a large golden throne perched on top of a large mound of gold and jewels. Next to him in a cage was Julie who appeared to be a bit dazed. Her right arm was bleeding from a cut on her shoulder. The Doctor pointed the TVG at Draconis and fired it.

A beam shot out of the end of the of the Time Vector Generator and hit Draconis directly in the chest. The beam knocked Draconis and his throne down the back of the mound of gold. The Doctor quickly bounded up the mound. He used the TVG to cut through two of the bars. Julie was in a dazed state and hardly seemed to notice the Doctor was there.

“Julie, It’s the Doctor.” The Doctor stated as he tapped her on the face in an attempt to get her to snap out of it. The Doctor heard Draconis’ laugh echo through the lair just before he felt the searing pain of electricity travel through his body. The Time Vector Generator flew from his hand before the Doctor fell to the ground. The device rolled down to the bottom of the gold mound. The Doctor watched as Draconis floated in the air near the cage.

“You scientist will never learn that all your knowledge and inventions are no match for the natural power of magic.” The evil wizard stated as he landed gently next to the cage. He clapped his hands and the cage disappeared. He then gave the Doctor another zap of electricity.

“Although I am impressed with your entrance, you do seem to have a talent for the dramatic entrance.”

“ What did you do to her?” The Doctor asked as the pain subsided for the moment and he tried to lift himself up. Draconis kicked him back down and shocked him again.

“Calm yourself Doctor, its just a side affect from the Doppleganger. As long as its alive she will be in this state. Of course you know by now should her double die, well let’s just say you would be traveling alone.”

The Wizard gave a small chuckle. The Doctor wondered where Shaden’s companions were but his question was immediately answered as he heard Donna-Lé yell at someone to let her go. Draconis snapped his fingers and the Doctor found his hands shackled. He managed to maneuver himself to sit up right and face Draconis who was once again sitting in his throne.

“Tell me then Draconis, why would you want my TARDIS if you think science is so horrible.”

“So I can destroy it. You of all people should know you cannot destroy what you do not understand.” Draconis stated as a Goblet of wine appeared in his hand. The Doctor shifted positions to try and move his jacket in a way so he could reach his sonic screwdriver. Draconis continued to talk with out directly looking at the Doctor.

“Now Doctor if you don’t mind, I do need that key of yours. It would appear your device is stronger against magic than I expected.”

“Sorry but I seem to have misplaced it again. Happens more than you think.” The Doctor quipped as his hands found their way to his jacket pocket.

“I grow tired of these games Doctor. If you do not give me the key then I will kill one of your friends here.” Draconis opened his left palm and a fire ball appeared. Julie suddenly dropped to the ground limp. Draconis looked over at the motionless body of Julie. “Oh damn, it looks as though someone beat me to it.”
