Welcome to Gaia! ::

Laxion didn't reject what Ruby had to say, instead he udnerstood and followed her quickly to the TARDIS, he wasn't to get away just as much as she did as the atmosphere was quickly... dying.

Back at the TARDIS, Alexis was still talking with The Doctor, who had been quizzed and quizzed about his where abouts but whilst answering vaguely he couldn't help but analyse the area of fluctuations in the atmosphere. The Doctor froze when Ruby came in and demanded that they leave, he didn't answer her order, he asked a question instead. His eye brows narrowed, his expression was that of a troubled old man who had found something familiar in someone else's emotions. He slowly stepped forwards once, and carefully asked "What is the matter?"
"You've arrived at a bad time, Doctor, you're not safe here, let us deal with things" replied LAxion, hoping he would believe them. The Doctor merely replied with I'm afraid i can't..."
"w...what do you mean you can't?"
"there are fluctuations in space and time in the area, across the entire planet, actually... i could leave but-
"DOCTOR!" screamed Clara, pointing and shouting at the open doorway where shadows in the distance seemed to conjure up from the woods and sprint like dogs. It was like a fog with thousands of spidery limbs reaching out and dragging its grotesque body. His eyes widened and he flung around to the control panel as he flicked a switch and closed them all inside the TARDIS. "i hope none of you are afraid of heights!" he commented pressing too many buttons at one time and pulling, twisting and flicking other switches as fast as he could. Half way through his strategy the entire room began to shake and be pounded from the outside, causing the floor to shake and the team to hold on tightly to the railings.

Laxion could then feel the sound of aching metal? Machinery? Something that was moving backwards and forwards as the room sprang to life, the center above the control panel moving up and down as the banging and shoving became lesser and lesser. With a loud and drawn out sigh the Doctor leaned back against the railing and wiped his forward. "that was close".

((p.s. Team won't know it, but they're out in space, overlooking earth now ;D ))

As the tilting, the shaking and the fearsome sounds stopped moaning and creaking Clara Oswald also sighed in relief, leaning against the control panel. The team was still huffing and puffing, catching up on their lost breath during the unexpected ride. "What... what did you do?" shook Alexis, standing up right. "Well you see, simple really but easier if you take a look outside" replied the Doctor, to both Alexis and Ruby who both asked rather the same question. "What have you done?" questioned Laxion, suddenly feeling more panicked. He then ran towards the doorway and flung the door open, as he swung out he saved himself with both hands clutching a hold onto the door and wall on both sides, chest hanging over the edge. The edge though was what scared him the most. "woh!" Laxion shouted, thrusting himself backwards and hurrying back towards the control panel, holding his stomach he could feel a sudden ache, like his insides were trying to escape him. Alexis angled her head towards teh doorway, concerned for Laxion as all she could see was blackness, blackness and thousands of small glowing lights. And then, as she got slowly closer, just behind the closed side of the door there was a familiar sight.

It was Earth.

"There's a force field around the TARDIS" calmly stated the Doctor, he was more serious now than before. "Its fine, nothing outside the TARDIS can affect us inside. For now we're safe. What i'd rather know is what was that outside trying to get at us?" Then Clara spoke up and said "Yeah, you seemed pretty worried about it? Perhaps the Doctor could help?"
"well, i tend to do that, can't help it... really. Trouble usually finds me"

Instead of being able to lend his help... the Doctor and Clara were shoved back, told to leave, go back to where they came from. It made The Doctor remember Gallifrey, and how he didn't have a home to return to. Always, every day at the back of his mind that thought sat there, torturing him, reminding him that he was the one that made it so. He swallowed and managed not to bring it up. "I guess you've never heard of me..." The Doctor quietly said under his breath, clara giving him a sudden stare of sympathy. He then turned around and grabbed the monitor that hung onto the side of the control panel and eye-height. He pulled it around as to face it towards the team that didn't want him there as he almost didn't want to say "but i'm afraid i've already solved you're problem..."

"I've been analyzing the atmosphere of Southern Occulas as you call it, the TARDIS deciphered every molecule, every atom, every wavelength and there are pockets of extremely powerful electro-magnetic and various other confusing things i won't tell you about, causing changes to happen and causing the weather to fluctuate. There was one in fact in that woods beside the TARDIS just a few moments ago..." Clara looked around at the screen as it showed a map of Magic Earth, pinpointing many different dark dots showing where each of this so called marks were, one in Zakernand, another in the City of Crows, more further out even one in bloodholme. Then there was also one at the edge of Asmodius, and finally, the one in the Enchanted Woods. "I'm afraid im not a person that gives up on anyon, no one deserves to fight something alone... not like i did" he finally finished, hoping it would convince them.

there was something that had to be udnerstood about the Doctor... he never turned anyone away, he would never think about himself before others. He had no where to go, no one to call his own, his wife came and vanished before he could get to know her and the first time they met he watched her sacrifice herself to save him. Then the last time they met they married, she had only just met him. But the moral is, the Doctor always tried his best to save everyone, he had life forms fleeing at his name because of the people he had saved out of selflessness. And he noticed a problem in Magic Earth, and he wants to solve it out of curiosity, and for the people that are in danger.

finally, she seemed to accept them. Clara sighed as she realised they would be ale to help. Meanwhile Alexis was tending to Laxion as Ruby became occupied with the bigger situation. The Doctor raised a brow and began to nod with Claudia's thoughts, he was about to bring out the Sonic again but she quickly changed the subject. "ah..." he quickly twizzled on his foot and turned around to his control panel, fiddlign a little and turning around againa dn saying "tonight, why-" and then he clicked. "Of coarse!" he then ran over to claudia and pressed hsi forehead right against hers, eyes clashing as he said "you, are brilliant!"
"no kissing, Doctor"
"oh i kiss everyone, Clara" he then walked off without kissing Ruby and ran round behind the opposite site of the control panel. They couldn't see him but he was saying "The moon!" his voice echoed a bit. "The dark side of the moon is home to some very pwoerful crystals! Invisible without the sun's light and still incredibly hard to find with the suns light." he then popped his head round the side and with a smile said "They're the soruce of power!"
"How exactly?" asked Alexis, her long blonde hair hanging down her side whilst she was bent over holding Laxion, who still felt unusually ill. Perhaps it was just shock. The Doctor then vanished behind the control panel again and said "These crystals emit a power in the twilight, funny thing is Earth's atmosphere concentrates this into direct, small locations around the world, more densely in particular months of different years!" he then ran around the side and back to the group.

"This... magic you use, to me its just complex science, but whoever is doing this has utilized the power of the moon for their own needs! Oh, you are beautiful" he then commented again towards Ruby, who had suddenly almost solved the entire thing.

The Doctor walked around passed the team and Clara, whom was still sitting on the singular metal chair that was by one side of the control panel, he was speaking back to Ruby. With his hand on his chin he pondered as he half spoke to himself and half to the others. "Ther would be no point in destroying them, the anomalies have already left a trace, calling for the moon. Even if you wiped them from the face of the Earth the time vortex's would still open, no, what we need to do is stop them from opening in the first place, or better yet, closing them shortly after they have opened - which is far easier" he said, explaining his ideas to the others. Laxion was then finally standing up again said "did you say Zoltan Maues? Wasn't he that mad wizard from you're academy Alexis? The one that murdered half of the syndicate when he wasn't allowed in?"
"uh -" she began, not really paying attention to the covnersation, she did however feel a sudden heat surround her skin as she went over the information in her head. "Yeah, he left the academy after feeling underrated, he then pleaded the syndicate to let him in but his ideologies of purity were far different from there's. He then went on a rampage and killed a lot of people..."
"The papers in Asmodius published an article on him just recently, apparently after the syndicate stopped him, he went mad and hellbent on invading Non-Magic Earth to enslave humanity... but he could never do it, obviosuly, because the Dragons of the Crossing wouldn't give him access across the realms-"
There was a sudden ringing coming from the doorway leading to space, which was shut. Alexis meanwhile had looked at her phone which had a miscall, and ofcoarse,she looked irritated because she couldn't get any signal. "ugh!" she scoffed, but the Doctor walked past her, pulling out his Sonic and buzzing it her way and suddenly "Woh, i have signal!"
"just a little editing of its configurable files, no need to thank me!" and then he opened the door, swung his body round the outside, not falling, and grabbing a phone with a curly wire. Laxion watched and found he could not udnerstand this Doctor... and Clara. He wanted to know much more about him, he knew Clara was human now from Non-magic Earth, but the Doctor? Some sort of Alien? How did he know so much... how did he travel time and space?

"what is it?" asked Clara. "It's a distress signal!" he ran through with a happy smile planted acoss his face, the long curly wire extended and stretched all the way to the control panel, even when the door was closed the wire stayed strong. the Doctor then placed the phone on the TARDIS' control panel and pulled a lever over, it strapping it into place. "from where?"
"from the same dimension we just left! But a few hundred miles further, towards the uh.... the west!" he then began fiddling with buttons and twiddly knobs again.

When Ruby suggested how she wants to be able to trust the Doctor and Clara, the brunette couldn't help but return a sincere smile. "that's the thing, with the Doctor - you can trust him all you like, and even if you don't he'll still save you"
"Yes, well, thanks for that, Clara. Anyway" he said facing Ruby once more, holding his hand on one lever tightly. "We're going to have to find out, aren't we?" he said with a suggestive grin. Unlike any other man Alexis had ever met, the Doctor smiled in the face of danger, he ran towards it like it was a magnet to him. And yet, he was never afraid, presumably, he never looked afraid.

And then the lever was flung down into the control panel as the Doctor yelled "GERONIMO!!!" and then the TARDIS began shaking and twisted like another earthquake had hit. Laxion was only just recovering from the view outside, Alexis was flung over towards Ruby before she could get a grasp of the railing, Laxion luckily grabbed tight already. The TARDIS was flying through space, from the outside the entire thing was spinning rapidly in different directions trying to find the source of the distress signal as quickly as possible, breaking through the dimension walls into Magic Earth even caused the control room they all stood in to flash brightly with sparks. "Aha! We're in again!" exclaimed the Doctor, holding on tightly to the control panel as his body was being flung about, just like everyone else!

Everything then stopped with the sound of something heavy placing itself firmly on solid ground, the shaking stopped, the noises stopped even the twisting stopped. "Woo" shortly added Clara, putting a hand through her hair to tidy it up, sighing. "Okay" said the doctor, catching his breath. "Before anyone leaves, im scanning the area, hopeflly we'll find any threats before it finds us"

Little did any of them know they were now in the City of Crows, the flawless, age-old city of tall dark towers, streets of closely built inns and homes, fountains between some and travelers all round. But it was Christmas Eve... and it was getting dark, most people were indoors and the nights recently all across the world have been starting very early, at about 3 in the afternoon. But here in the Land of Crows that was normal and went unnoticed. The screen on the control panel the doctor had earlier was still showing the map of Southern Occulas now, and a flashing red dot showed them where they where.

((well, we're get closer to picking up Nyru Claudia and Adi! All thanks to Adi!))
