Shattering Time [5] (The Parallel Series) ✓

Cold Blood

"Don't you come near me with that." Amy screeched.

"From the clothing, the human female appears to be more resistant to the cold than the male." The male homo-reptilia eyed Amy.

"I'm dressed for Rio!" Amy screeched.

"Leave her alone." Mo shouted. "You've got me."

Amy winced against her clamped wrist as she lay on the slightly tilted upright table. "Decontamination complete. Commencing dissection."

"Area Seventeen incursion. Species diagnostic requested." A voice through a speaker announced. "Area Seventeen incursion. Species diagnostic requested." The green creature then ran out to see what was going on.

"Yeah. And stay out." Amy shouted then grinned pressing the button on the remote to free herself and then Mo.

"How did you get that?" Mo questioned.

"You never picked a lizard man's pocket? Come on, before he gets back, time to find the Stone."

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

The Stone winced hearing the cries of the Doctor as she awoke. She managed to escape before running into a group of the homo-reptilia carrying the Doctor and Nasreen before she was gassed guessing it was the same way they were captured.

"Doctor!" The Stone shouted seeing him wriggle around in pain. "No stop!" The Time Lady screamed slamming her hands trying to free herself from her clamped wrists. "You're hurting him!"

"How can they have escaped?" One of the homo-reptilia hissed ignoring the blonde. "This proves all prisoners should remain under military guard."

"I'm sure you'd prefer to be in charge of everything and everyone, Restac, but we rank the same." The one in the lab coat reminded. "Is there any word from Alaya?"

"No," Restac replied.

"It's fine to show concern, you know. She's part of your gene-chain. I'm decontaminating now."

"Decontamination?" The Time Lords repeated horror in their eyes. "No, no, no!" The Doctor shouted screaming in more pain.

"No!" The Stone cried out. "Stop!" She thrashed her arms. "You can't!"

"No!" The Doctor shouted.

"It's all right, it won't harm you. I'm only neutralising all your ape bacteria."

"He's not an ape!" The Stone shouted. "Neither of us are!"

"Look at the scans." The Doctor said through his cries of pain. "Two hearts. Totally different. Totally not ape! Remove all human germs, you remove half the things keeping us alive."

The Homo-reptilia's eyes widened when he checked the scans, neither of them, were lying. Instantly he turned off the decontamination while Restac shouted in protest. "No, complete the process."

"Oh, that's much better, thanks." The Doctor panted making the Stone sigh out of relief that he was okay yet wishing she could give him a large hug. "Not got any celery, have you?"

"I'll get you all the celery you want when this is over." The Stone said feeling tears prick her eyes knowing just how dangerous removing that bacteria could have been.

"No. No, not really the climate." He shook his head and looked at the homo-reptilia. "Tomatoes, though. You'd do a roaring trade in those. I'm the Doctor." He smiled. "This is my wife, the Stone."
