After jumping into the doctor's time stream, Clara didn’t know what to expect but it certainly wasn’t being grabbed and brought to what looked like a teenagers room. Looking around she tried to see what was going on and why she wasn’t with the doctor.
“Ahem”, a voice to my left said.
Turning around she saw what appeared to be a dark-skinned 16-17 year old girl. They had black braided hair, purple glasses, a black shirt and tights, with a purple and white striped cardigan. “Who are you?”Clara said suspiciously, glancing around looking for something to defend herself from this strange kid.
“You don’t have anything to fear Clara- and I know your name because I'm a goddess here you can call me Marina”, Th-Marina said. Continuing they said, “I came here when I sensed the time and space fracture from when you and the great intelligence jumped into the doctor time stream. Why did you do that?”
As Clara was listening carefully, she answered their question “ Isn’t it obvious to save the doctor”. “Why? I know the doctor has saved many people but everywhere he goes disaster happens'' she said. Angered, Clara said “ That is not true the doctor has saved people, the people who get hurt aren’t his fault, and worse things would've happened if he did nothing.”
Staring back blankly, Marina said “All of you companions are like this but most of you don’t really know anything or know him that well but would kill yourselves just so he can live. You want to save the doctor, Yes". “Of course I do”, I said bravely, not reacting to what they said. I know I'm not the doctor's first companion and I know I won’t be the last either.
“ Well you see as a goddess I can help you but it’s against the rules to sway the world just because I don’t like it. The Great Intelligence plan, do you know what it is?”, Marina said. “Sure, to turn the Doctor’s victories and failures” I replied. “Correct but that's not all. They’re going to get all the doctor companions to leave or never start traveling with the Doctor. Now I can help by reminding the companions why traveling is worth it-”
“That's fantastic you can do that and my splinters and I can deal with the other stuff”, I said happily that for once this might actually be easy. “-BUT as a god I have to be impartial so i’m going to let the companions choose for themselves if they would still travel with the doctor” Marina continued. Frowning a little, Clara still nodded it would be best for the companions to have a say in the matter
“Just so you know I can’t bring all of the doctors' companions but I can bring the most recent in this timeline”, Marina said. “Whatever if I can still be splintered I can get the companions you don’t get,” I said
“Great”, Marina said, snapping her fingers and bringing everyone to a big theater room, but unconscious.
“What the? Why are there so many people and why are they knocked out?”, I said, shocked at the sudden appearance. “Well I also brought the family, they should be taken into account for this and them being knocked out should keep them calm for a bit. Beside they are waking up now”
The first one to get up was Donna and the first thing she did was yell “ WHO THE BLOODY HELL ARE YOU PEOPLE” as a result making everyone wake up and start yelling.
Turning to Marina Clara said “ Aren’t you going to do something”. “Huh Oh sure”, Marina said, snapping her finger and getting rid of everyone's mouths. When everything was quiet, Marina brought attention to herself by whistling. When everyone's eyes were on her Marina said “ Hello everyone my name is seeYaByTheMarina or just Marina to keep it short. I am a god and I'm here to help you make a decision. I am going to give you back your mouth but you have to promise to stay quiet and introduce yourselves where you were before you came here when I call on you. ”
When everyone nodded Marina gave them back their mouths and waited a bit to see if anyone was going to talk. Satisfied everyone was listening Marina pointed to 9 and Rose
“ I am the Doctor and my companion, Rose, and I just came from dropping off this little punk named Adam”, 9 said
Surprised, Donna says, “How can you be the Doctor? He's the doctor”, pointing to 10.
“You're both wrong. He’s the doctor”, Amy said, pointing to 11. Both actions cause 9 to look at what is said to be his future selves
Before things could get loud again Marina said, “Everything will be explained after the introductions but that is the 9th doctor, but for now the introductions should be continued”.
“Right, my name is Rose Tyler, I traveled with the doctor over there and came with him”, Rose said, confused about everything. Causing Martha, Donna, and River to gasp as this is the Rose that the doctor talked about so much.
Guessing he should talk, Mickey said, “ My name is Mickey Smith and I’m an associate of the doctor”.
“My name is Jackie Tyler I’m Roses mother I came with Mickey from after rose left”, Jackie said
“Good on to you Martha”, Marina said. Martha was mostly just listening so when her name was called she was surprised but she introduced herself.
“I’m Martha Jones M.D in training I travel with him. I came from a planet with a burning man.” she said while pointing to 10.
It was Martha's family's turn. “My name is Francine Jones. I'm Martha's mother, Francine said. “My name is Clive Jones, I’m Martha’s father,” Clive said. “I’m Leo Jones, I'm Martha’s brother,” Leo says. “I’m Tish, I’m Martha sister”. Looking at Martha francine asked “What do you mean you came from a planet with a burning man we came from our houses where were you.” Before things could blow out of proportion Marina interrupted.
“Answers will be given. Let go to 10”, Marina said
“I’m the 10th doctor I came with Martha”, 10 said.
"Donna your turn ", Marina said
“I’m Donna noble best temp in Cheswick I was just about to go to Adipose industries to find him”, Donna said pointing to 10.
Knowing he should go Wilf says, “I’m Wilfred Mott but you can call me Wilf I’m Donna’s maternal grandfather”
Deciding to go Sylvia says ‘’Sylvia noble Donna’s mother and Wilf daughter. We came from home with Donna”
“Your turn 11”, Marina said
“Alrighty then I’m the 11th doctor I came from after rebooting the universe by doing big bang 2 with my companions the ponds.”Eleven said while flapping his hand about.
Amy knowing it’s her turn said “I’m Amelia Pond you can call me Amy and I travel with this bow tie wearing child along side my Husband Rory.”
When his name was called Rory said, “I’m Rory Williams nurse I travel with my wife and the doctor”.
With his son talking Brian decided to talk, "Brian Williams I'm Rory father and Amy's father-in-law"
Augustus pond also talked, "I am Amy's father Augustus and Rory's father-in-law"
Tabetha pond went next, "I am Amy's mother and Rory's-Mother-in-law"
"And my grandparents", River thought to herself
“Right almost done how bout you Jack”, Marina said to the time agent
“Oh Yeah my turn Hello Everyone I’m Captain Jack harkness I might just say all of you look amazing I came from the london Blitz, “ Jack said with a flirtatious tone.
“Cool it done captain Your turn River,” Marina said
“ Hello Sweeties I’m River Song archeologist I came from Stonehenge prison”, River said with flirtation rivaling jacks while also making a few people uncomfortable.
Sarah Jane then introduced herself, “ My name is Sarah Jane Smith. I used to be a companion of the doctor but not any of the ones here. I was just about to investigate a suspicious school before I came here”.
“Great one person next your turn Master,” Marina said. When that name was spoken the doctors inhaled a deep breath and turned to look where Marina was where they saw (Harold Saxon) the Master handcuffed to one of the theater chairs. “And no being mean or lying I have all the power here”.
Glaring the Master relented and introduced himself, “ I’m the Master time lord a superior species to you humans”
“Well now that everyone has been introduced I can get you to answer your questions. Just to remind you I am a Goddess so-”, Marina said before she was interrupted
“Your God, so god is a black female that awesome”, Tish said
“No Tish I’m not God i’m A goddess very different, but no one knows what they looks like so don’t be dejected”, Marina said before she continued “Now where was I. Oh yeah, you're all here because your lifes has been or is going to be impacted by a man called the doctor. He is an alien, specifically a Time Lord from space who has a time machine. Know some of you don’t trust him at all so I'm here to help you make a decision because the very future could be impacted. Now here to explain better is my associate, Clara Oswin Oswald. She is the future companion of 11 and is here to save the doctor. Now Clara you can say the basics but not something that could prevent you coming here.”
When she was named Clara waved to everyone, stopping when she saw 11 analyze her. 11 was looking at the girl who was going to be his companion with interest and sadness as he realized that he is going to lose his ponds but Clara seems clever.
“Hi everyone just like Marina said I’m here to save the doctor because something happened that could mess with his entire future.”, Clara said
“What happens”, Nine said seriously to the woman who was going to be his companion even if losing rose hurt he knew it would have to happen eventually.
“To keep things simple and not changing the future hugely an enemy wants to turn all of the doctor victories into loses so he jumped into the Doctor's Timestream to do that”, Clara said
“WHAT!!!”, the doctors, the companions, and River said simultaneously.
“That can’t happen, do you know how many people would die if the doctor was gone’,Sarah Jane said fearfully with every companion nodded in agreement.
“I know so I jumped into the doctor timestream to fix it, but I ended up getting picked up my Marina”, Clara said
“What that is still very dangerous you would have been splinter in hundred of yourself”, 10 said sternly but still impressed and figured that he couldn’t wait to have Clara as a companion
“Well it’s too late know but that didn’t happened because i’m here”, Clara shot back
“Now no fights, One of the ways the enemy is going to make the doctor lose is by having the doctor lose his companions who are an important part of the doctor's life”, Marina said. “I picked clara up because her attempt to stop it confused and intrigue me so I’m interfering any questions”
“Yes if you're a god should you be interfering and aren’t you gods supposed to be impartial?”, Rose said
“Yes but I'm not bringing all companions/ I’m doing this to have all you companions make a choice about your lives with the doctor, so I’m here to show you adventures or episodes with the doctor. Starting with Rose-Martha-Donna-Amy & Rory this was you can get to know the doctor more. Now then everyone here are some rules 1. I won’t allow any spoilers or fights, 2. Every once in a while I’ll let you guys talk about what you have seen after an episode and after a few episodes, 3. Since you’ll be here for a while you have rooms. If you get hungry I have some snacks, fruits, and candies to your left. Now I need to get everything ready but just talk to each other for a bit and get seated bye”, Marina said disappearing.
Left alone everyone decided to get seat talk and wait for the first episode to start.
