Skye is the Limit: Season 2

Story
“Stop them,” Skye demanded as the Doctor began thinking, looking to the man tied up next to them.

“I may not be able to stop them from killing us and him but I may have a plan,” the Doctor scratched his head irritated that he had gotten into this situation.

“How about the aging device?” Skye asked as the Doctor began thinking.

“Maybe, but we can’t age a King,” the Doctor told her looking to the King that was on the ground.

“A clone of a King, you used a cloning device so you could have your own King,” Skye shouted getting annoyed.

“Good point and if they think he is not the King’s long lost brother and a threat to the throne then they will let him go,” the Doctor pondered.

“I have a much simpler plan, we could just get him out of her without any aging,” Skye suggested as the Doctor nodded.

“But we could not take him with the vortex manipulator if you remember,” the Doctor reminded Skye.

“We don’t need to use the vortex manipulator to get him out of here,” Skye smiled seeing her confused colleague “we aim for the TARDIS and then materialise around him; I really don’t know how we did not think of that earlier.”

“Good point, put in the coordinates,” the Doctor smiled as the King was still tied up, Skye looked to her chains and with a few presses of a button her and the Doctor were gone.

“Now it is your turn to put in the coordinates,” Skye told him as they entered the bright TARDIS as the Doctor ran towards the console going about his business.

“Here we go, the clone King will be getting a big shock,” the Doctor smiled as he heard the familiar noise that he adored so much as the TARDIS materialised around the clone King.

“Hello Fredrick,” Skye smiled untying Fredrick’s ropes that tied his arms and legs together as she also removed the cloth around his mouth.

“Thanks for getting me into this muddle, I should be the King,” Fredrick said as he saw the others shaking their heads.

“You are a clone, the Doctor made you because he wanted his own stupid King,” Skye shook her head in frustration.

“I thought he was cooler, a legend among his people,” the Doctor smiled up to the roof of the TARDIS.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Also a street name in Cardiff, I just want to sleep so good night,” Skye yawned and stretched her arms as she did so.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Good night, now where to put you,” the Doctor pondered as Fredrick stood up, he was a few inches taller than the Doctor with a strong build.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I am not a box you can simply put too one side,” Fredrick argued.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I am going to make a room for you, it will be fit for a King,” the Doctor sighed as he walked down the TARDIS stairs.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Hurry up sir,” Fredrick ordered as the Doctor was configuring the TARDIS as he started tampering with the wires.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Done, I am getting good at this,” the Doctor smiled as Fredrick nodded as they both went back up stairs.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Where is my room then?” Fredrick asked.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Straight ahead and then third left, you can’t miss it, good night your majesty,” the Doctor went back to the TARDIS console as he heard everyone going to bed.

<p class="MsoNormal">''Morning came for Skye. ''

<p class="MsoNormal">“Adventure,” Skye mumbled as she walked out to the TARDIS console.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Good morning, your cup of tea is done,” the Doctor smiled as Skye got the tea that was resting on the TARDIS console, leaning against one of the levers.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Is Fredrick still here?” Skye felt exhausted from her sleep.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Of course he is, I will drop him off later, maybe to another medieval era. He would enjoy that,” the Doctor walked around the TARDIS as he heard another pair of footsteps coming towards them.

<p class="MsoNormal">“This place is huge, mighty fine place you have here,” Fredrick said as he walked towards Skye and the Doctor.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Yes it is, would you like a cup of tea?” The Doctor asked.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I don’t know what that is sir, are you trying to poison me?” Fredrick asked looking warily towards them.

<p class="MsoNormal">“No we are not,” the Doctor replied as he leaned towards Skye and whispered “he still has the memories of the actual King.”

<p class="MsoNormal">“Adventure,” Skye replied as she moved her hand just a bit too quickly as a large amount of tea spilt over the console.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Oh no,” the Doctor said quickly trying to clear it up as the TARDIS began moving again.

<p class="MsoNormal">“What is happening?” Fredrick asked.

<p class="MsoNormal">“The TARDIS is moving as it thinks it is being attacked,” the Doctor shouted with urgency.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Why didn’t it do this when are bodies were swapped?” Skye asked remembering where she had gotten the bracelet that she had left behind at her apartment.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I put on Emergency Defence Mode as I was not sure if the brilliant clone of Fredrick would attack,” the Doctor said as he saw a square device shifting towards Skye.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Not that,” Skye shouted as she fell on top of the box as the TARDIS began violently moving.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Why is the house moving? Is there an earthquake?” Fredrick’s voice boomed around the room.

<p class="MsoNormal">“We are actually moving in time and space, this is a time machine,” Skye replied as she saw the box that she had landed upon glowing.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Okay then, everyone get ready to land,” the Doctor watched as a bright light lit the TARDIS as the Doctor could not make out any faces, he spotted three figures other than himself as the scenery began to change around them.

<p class="MsoNormal">''Some Kalomans were hunting for food as they spotted three bodies. ''

<p class="MsoNormal">“Are they still alive?” One asked, wearing a hat made out of feathers and pieces of grass, he was the only one doing so.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Yes, should we bring them in?” Another Kaloman asked. Kalomans were blue creatures with yellow stripes around their body, often skinny in build they have a similar look to the Humans and are about the same height.

<p class="MsoNormal">“No,” the one with the hat said sharply.

<p class="MsoNormal">“But we need to examine them,” a Kaloman pleaded, he was wearing Doctor’s overalls.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I am the leader, do you dare defy me?” The leader asked as the Kaloman Doctor backed down.

<p class="MsoNormal">“No sir but they may be able to help us,” the Kaloman Doctor looked to his leader seeing the scowl that was on his face as the Kaloman Doctor walked away.

<p class="MsoNormal">''A few hours later the Doctor woke up. ''

<p class="MsoNormal">“Where am I?” The Doctor muttered as he saw Skye and Fredrick next to him, both asleep as the Doctor shook them hearing them getting up.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Doctor, what happened?” Skye asked.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Well, you spilling your cup of tea has made us be separated from the TARDIS and their is a new rule in the TARDIS, no cup of teas near the console,” the Doctor told Skye who rolled her eyes.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Hi,” they heard a voice shout as the Doctor looked towards who had spoken.

<p class="MsoNormal">“What is that supposed to be?” Fredrick asked still drowsy.

<p class="MsoNormal">“A Kaloman if I am correct, a species that used to be Human the roughly a million years ago they crashed here and have adapted,” the Doctor explained.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Are you Humans?” The Kaloman Doctor asked.

<p class="MsoNormal">“What?” Skye replied barely hearing the Kaloman.

<p class="MsoNormal">“You know, born from a female Human,” the Kaloman was excited.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Not really, me and Skye are Time Lords and Fredrick is a clone so was never born but made,” the Doctor explained as they looked around.

<p class="MsoNormal">“This is amazing,” Fredrick smiled looking around at the green jungle that lay around them.

<p class="MsoNormal">“It looks like New Zealand, I have been there once,” Skye commented.

<p class="MsoNormal">“How was it?” The Doctor asked.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Beautiful and scary,” Skye replied.

<p class="MsoNormal">“What is your name?” The Doctor asked.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Kaloman,” Kaloman replied.

<p class="MsoNormal">“A Kaloman named Kaloman, whoever thought of that is very original,” Skye said sarcastically.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I am the only one with the name, I’m sure there is a Human called Human,” Kaloman said back.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Somehow I doubt it,” Skye replied as she looked around at the scenery.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Actually, I met a Human called Human, very interesting person,” the Doctor nodded as Skye rolled her eyes at him.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I need to show you to the leader, he will understand once he sees you,” Kaloman urged as the Doctor did not move.

<p class="MsoNormal">“The Kaloman’s hate the Humans and anything that resembles them because they were left on this planet to die by the Humans,” the Doctor said back.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Good point but the Melkins are coming and you do not want to be exposed when they come to attack,” Kaloman warned.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Who are the Melkins?” The Doctor asked.

<p class="MsoNormal">“A blood thirsty race that are our enemies, we are polar opposites. They are great with bows and arrows,” Kaloman replied as he had a look of fear on his face.

<p class="MsoNormal">“They don’t sound good but I need to get back to my TARDIS, Skye get the vortex manipulator ready. I am locking onto the coordinates of it so get back,” the Doctor commanded Skye.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Doing it as we speak,” Skye smiled as they saw Kaloman quickly leaving.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Shouldn’t we help them?” Fredrick asked as the Doctor and Skye shared a look.

<p class="MsoNormal">“This is not our war, both sides will kill us instantly if they see us,” the Doctor told Fredrick who looked unconvinced.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Maybe he is right,” Skye contemplated as the Doctor was still scanning.

<p class="MsoNormal">“It is getting dark, we would have no wear to go,” the Doctor looked away from them.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Maybe we should get in before the Darkness comes,” Skye said as the Doctor nodded.

<p class="MsoNormal">“The moment we can find the TARDIS we can get back inside and then just go to the next morning,” the Doctor surrendered to them but still scanned.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Humans,” they heard something shout from the other way that Kaloman had run to.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Run,” Skye said as the Doctor and Skye ran as they saw bows and arrows flying everywhere, one went near to Skye as she felt something getting hit, but could not feel any pain.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Who is that?” Fredrick asked.

<p class="MsoNormal">“We need to help whoever it is,” Skye said.

<p class="MsoNormal">“No, we don’t. Whoever that is can fend for themselves,” the Doctor said sharply as they suddenly stopped.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Big drop,” Fredrick commented seeing the Melkins coming towards them all smiling.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Hello,” one said as the trio saw a blue race with yellow lines.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Are you Melkins or Kaloman?” The Doctor asked seeing the similarities.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Melkins, how dare you insult us? We are nothing like those Kaloman,” the Melkin spat as the Doctor scanned him.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Human, you have about the same amount of Human DNA as the Kaloman,” the Doctor told the Melkin who hissed in reply.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Kill them,” the Melkin licked his lips as they saw the various Melkin raising their bow and arrows.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Vortex manipulator,” the Doctor whispered to Skye who looked down at her right wrist.

<p class="MsoNormal">“They broke it,” Skye whispered in reply as the Doctor looked down and saw the insides of the device seeing the various wires which were now detached from each other.

<p class="MsoNormal">“By the sound of it I am guessing it is bad,” Fredrick commented as the Doctor and Skye nodded.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I have faced Daleks, I have beaten the Weeping Angels, survived the Peilis twice and seen the death of JFK and survived my mother trying to murder me. Well, I regenerated but I am not going to die now,” Skye shouted as the Melkin did not know what she was talking about.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Kill,” the Melkin shouted as they heard something whistling through the air as a Melkin went down.

<p class="MsoNormal">“The Hunter,” another screamed looking to Skye.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Is she your mother?” Fredrick asked seeing the figure.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Impossible,” Skye smiled as the Melkin began to run away.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Who is that?” The Doctor asked himself scanning the figure with his sonic screwdriver.

<p class="MsoNormal">“So, what is it?” Skye asked nervously.

<p class="MsoNormal">“You won’t like the answer,” the Doctor warned “Time Lord.”

<p class="MsoNormal">“It can’t be my mum, the Mistress looks nothing like me,” Skye said as the Doctor pulled them away.

<p class="MsoNormal">“We have to find a way back to the TARDIS but for now we will have to make camp,” the Doctor told them as they walked away trying to find a good area to hideout.

<p class="MsoNormal">“How about here?” Fredrick suggested seeing a hole that goes deep into the ground.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Fine but I really don’t want to go in there,” Skye complained smelling the horrible gas that was rising up towards them. Before Skye could say another word the Doctor had jumped in.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Okay then, this looks good but one problem,” the Doctor looked around.

<p class="MsoNormal">“There always is,” Skye said looking at the points the Doctor was looking at.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I am guessing it is that something is already in here, the tunnel is too perfect to be done by a natural event,” Fredrick answered as the Doctor looked shocked.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Just when I thought you were not living up to your name as a legendary King,” the Doctor smiled as he raised his arm up for a high five. Fredrick looked strangely at the hand.

<p class="MsoNormal">“What are you doing?” Fredrick asked as Skye began chuckling.

<p class="MsoNormal">“You high five me, just slap your hand against mine,” the Doctor told Fredrick who nodded.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Fine, I will do as you have asked,” Fredrick got ready as he pulled his arm well back and swung his hand at the Doctor’s with speed and power.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Ouch,” the Doctor complained holding his wrist.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Stop being such a girl,” Skye told him as the Doctor was rubbing his wrist.

<p class="MsoNormal">“He really smacked my hand, more lightly next time Fredrick,” the Doctor advised.

<p class="MsoNormal">“You did not specify to what amount of power I should slap your hand,” Fredrick reminded the Doctor.

<p class="MsoNormal">“He is right,” Skye smiled as they walked further into the tunnels.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Did you hear that?” Fredrick asked the others.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Yes I did,” the Doctor replied hearing a scrapping noise up ahead.

<p class="MsoNormal">“We should turn back,” Skye whispered to the others.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I agree,” the Doctor replied as he turned back, the footsteps behind them increased in frequency.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Humans,” the voice said from behind as it was quickly gaining on them.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Quicker,” the Doctor shouted as he felt something yank on his shirt as he got pulled back into the darkness.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Doctor,” Skye shouted running towards the way the Doctor had been dragged back.

<p class="MsoNormal">“We cannot go to the danger,” Fredrick told her as he pulled her back.

<p class="MsoNormal">“No, I am going to save the man who has been a crucial part of my life for so long,” Skye shouted hitting Fredrick’s hand away.

<p class="MsoNormal">“We could be killed,” Fredrick pleaded.

<p class="MsoNormal">“You are a King, the Doctor said you are the bravest but I suppose none of the actual King’s characteristics has passed onto the clone,” Skye shouted as Fredrick stepped back a little.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Fine, I am the actual King by the way,” Fredrick said as they walked back to save the Doctor.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Stupid Doctor, why couldn’t he go faster then we wouldn’t be trying to save him,” Skye complained as they went further into the darkness.

<p class="MsoNormal">“I can’t see where I am going,” Fredrick complained.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Me neither, just go by your other senses,” Skye told Fredrick as they heard a howling behind them.

<p class="MsoNormal">“Something is coming,” Fredrick whispered.
