 Episode One of the fifth series of Doctor Who.

Summary
The Tenth Doctor is regenerating, but as he gets halfway through, it suddenly stops because of the jar of Gallifreyan water on board that can allow regeneration without changing the Time Lord. The TARDIS crashes in 2034 because of his fiery regeneration and the Doctor must find out what is killing people in town. On top of all this, the water containing his regeneration energy turns his new companion RaeLynn into a Time Lady. As the Doctor continues through all of these mysteries, he fails to notice that the jar shouldn't have been there because it exploded when Donna Noble had accidentally created the Metacrisis Tenth Doctor and turned herself into DoctorDonna.

The Episode
Part One - Regenerative

***

It was a while ago when the Ninth Doctor regenerated. So came the reign of Ten, who lived on well. He stood in the TARDIS, regenerating after visiting Rose in 2005. Downright scared, he looked up and said one sentence before the unexpected happened.

"I don't want to go!"

The golden light glowing off of his skin burst around him, causing damage to the TARDIS. Ten, sweaty and unable to move just stood there with a look of horror on his face - one that wasn't changing. All of the regenerative energy was pulled away from him and into the case that had held his severed hand at his beginning.

Ten gasped, wiping sweat away from his face whilst looking into the once clear water that was now a neon yellow. A bit confused, he stepped forward to inspect it.

Then it hit him. "Oh, of course!" Laughing, Ten jumped up. "Oh, that's brilliant!"

Ten wished he could hug himself, but that'd risk collapsing two universes to do so. "Oh, yes. Gallifreyan water, can't believe I never knew I had any! Glad I didn't drink it..."

Although a bit confused on how he managed to get Gallifreyan water, Ten didn't even care. He knew the properties of Gallifreyan water would allow for a Time Lord or Lady to heal during a regeneration process and then remove the regeneration energy completely in case said Time Lord/Lady wanted to stay in their current incarnation if they were close enough to the water.

A terrible wrenching sound brought him back to reality. As he looked around, most of the TARDIS' inside was on fire from the regenerative energy and the control board was sparking here and there. He was crashing.

Grabbing on to the railing to the doors, he shouted as the TARDIS crashed.

"ALLONS-Y!"

***

The TARDIS hit the ground, and so did Ten. Laying on the metal walkway, he was out of it but stood up anyway. Walking down the ramp and out the doors, Ten immediately knew he'd landed during a bad situation.

People ran about screaming, dying from seemingly nothing, but Ten knew that something was up. People just don't take to running about and dropping dead for no apparent reason.

"The adventure never ends, does it?" He stops a blonde in her early twenties. "Hold on miss, what year is it?"

"Really? Not the best situation for these kinds of questions mister!"

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">"Just tell me, I just need to know when I am before I stop whatever's killing everyone."

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">"The hell are you talking about? Anyway, it's 2034."

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">Ten grinned wildly. "Oh, I loved this year." His smile faded. "First off, get into the TARDIS, quick!"

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">She was a bit confused, earning a sigh from Ten. "The big blue box behind me."

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">"Oh.. Don't think that's going t-"

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">"IN!" He pulls her through the doors. She gasps. "W-what?! It's bi-" Ten interrupts her. "-Ger on the inside, yes, I know that."

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">Ten motions towards the charred seats. "Have a seat, or what's left of it. Tell me what you know about whatever the hell isn't visible out there."

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">She sighs as she sits down. "No one knows what it is. It would show itself to us at first, but then it just disappeared like it went into hiding. Everyone was a bit scared, and as it turns out, we had every right to be."

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">Ten thinks for a moment, then his face brightens. "I've got an idea!" He trots off further into the TARDIS.

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">"Wait, where are you going?" She turns around when a case of golden liquid catches her eyes. "What the hell..."

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">***

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">Ten walks back into the main room with his 3-D glasses on and immediately yells "STOP THAT!"

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">The girl jerks back away from the casing of Gallifreyan water, the lid falling out of her hand. Ten is just a bit scared, as her hand is wet and glowing. She looks terrified. "W-what the hell is this?!"

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">"God, I haven't known you but two minutes and you're already acting like my old companions!"

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">The regenerative energy spreads across her body and dissolves into her. She freezes, as if regenerating, and then falls over on all fours. Dazed, she stumbles to a stand, and gasps without warning. "Why can I feel more than one heartbeat in my chest?!"

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">***

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">"So, what's happened to me?" She asks after Ten finishes examining her.

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">"This is a bit weird. It seems as if the regenerative energy from my outburst about an hour ago was ready to regenerate a Time Lord, not a human. So, because you had touched it, you absorbed some of it. It seems that it made adjustments because you were human, not Time Lord."

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">"Am I still human?"

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">"No, not at all anymore. The energy flowed into you. Now, since it was never fully activated since the water stalled my regeneration, it was extremely powerful and charging in the water. When you touched it and it transferred from the water to you, I presume it was powerful enough to create a Time Lord. Well, Time Lady in this case. Which means, I'm not the only one left in my species anymore."

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">Ten could tell her mind was reeling from shock. "I'm an alien now?"

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">"Yeah, and since you're a Time Lady and I'm a Time Lord, I think it might be time to exchange names."

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">"RaeLynn."

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">"The Doctor."

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">"Doctor Who?"

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">"Just the Doctor. I don't even remember my name anymore. Been a long time since I've used it."

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">"Oh. That's sad, I guess."

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">Ten grabbed his 3-D glasses and put them back on. "I'm going to go see if it's visible with these."

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">He turned around and walked through the TARDIS doors. To his horror, no one and nothing was outside. Even the bodies had been picked up.

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">"No! No, no, no, no, no!" Ten ran forward and looked all around. He could see now that it was a town square. A few stray papers blew here and there. Just when all his hope had been lost, he noticed something in the direction the invisible creature had been. Particles. Completely black particles. Sliding a glass vial from his pocket, "When did this get into my coat?", he pulled the cork out of it and waved it through the mass of particles and sealed them into the glass vial.

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">Turning around, he walked back to the TARDIS, and went inside.

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">"Did you see it?" RaeLynn asked immediately.

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">"No, no one's out there. I did get this though." He said, waving the vial in the air.

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">RaeLynn squinted at it. "There's nothing in there, Doctor."

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">Ten grinned at her, "Oh yes, there is. You see, it's filled with these particles invisible to the naked eye. Just like the creature. My guess is it gives these off when it's invisible. Take a look."

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">He hands her the 3-D glasses. She puts them on and looks into the tube. "Oh my god."

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">"Enthusiastic, you are." He said softly, taking the vial.

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">"Shut up." She said, hitting him playfully on the arm.

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">"I need to get these particles examined." Ten walks over to a little panel in the floor. Pulling the little door up, he slid the vial in it's designated spot and returned to the screen on the controls.

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">It read:

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">PROCESSING: 1% | Time To Process: 24 Earth Hours

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">"That's great, Doctor. What a fast machine you have there." She said sarcastically.

<p style="margin-top:20px;margin-bottom:20px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,Trebuchet,sans-serif;font-size:12px;line-height:18px;text-align:justify;">Ten gave her a look that said it was her turn to shut up. "Well, we've got a day to find out more about this thing until it's done. Who knows, maybe something exciting may turn up."
