Freshman History 2: The Secret Of The Ooze

[The Doctor]

"Lunari, trust me when I say he'd be fine with it knowing it's me." The Doctor then let his eyes look over to the TARDIS, then back to Lunari, "Besides, I'm way more concerned with my technology. Go on, take a look inside the TARDIS. Look, but don't touch."

The Doctor sat down on his desk top waiting for the reaction of Lunari, well aware that this was normal ruitine for the students. "Ladies and gentlemen, we are going into the future, bring your coats, this one is going to be good. Then we'll make a stop in the past. But mostly, we are going to the future. If you don't have warm clothes, I have a complete full wardrobe for all the different times I go to in the TARDIS. Pick out anything you like from any time!"

The Doctor was going to show them something amazing. Something truly amasing. Something he had shown Rose. Something the fundamentally changed her attitude about life.

"Rose....... Well then, everyone on board. What do you think Lunari? Is the TARDIS meeting your standards?"

The Doctor made his way into the TARDIS waiting for all the students to get inside, and for Lunari to say what she thought.

[Lunari Awren]

"Well, if Solaris can trust you, so can I." But that didn't mean she couldn't be skeptical. The TARDIS as he called it had simply appeared out of thin air...which could mean something, or it could have been a trick. As she approached the contraption, she reached out to feel it. Seemed like any other ordinary European police box...

However, looks were always decieving. Upon reaching the interior of the box, something was obviously amiss. She checked each the interior and exterior again and again, obviously in disbelief, until she came up with the same answer Solaris did. "It's a hypercube." She said with a small smile. The glasses she wore would analyze everything in the box to its absolute fullest. "If you don't have warm clothes, I have a complete full wardrobe for all the different times I go to in the TARDIS. Pick out anything you like from any time!"

She looked down at her own dress, pencil skirt, nanotech lab shirt, and a red beret...functional and warm...but she could do with another coat. "Yes, I could use something warm Doc...and to answer your question...I apparently still have some things to learn about physics..."

[Jeremiah Sykes]

Jeremy raised a skeptical eyebrow, but didnt say anything about disbelieving it. The guy had taken them back in time, and proved the impossible, possible, so whose to say it wouldnt happen again. After giving a grin to te boy who wore one of his nicest shirts, Jeremy stood, walking over to the TARDIS with the rest of the class, only he was towering over everyone, taking up three times the room.

Turning to the side and crouching down, he stepped inside, the large interior never ceasing to amaze him. Walking around the rail and standing near the back away from the door, jeremy leaned against the metal wall, and waited for the proof Doc had been speaking of.

[Matrim]

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are going into the future, bring your coats, this one is going to be good. Then we'll make a stop in the past. But mostly, we are going to the future. If you don't have warm clothes, I have a complete full wardrobe for all the different times I go to in the TARDIS. Pick out anything you like from any time!"

"The.... future? Coat? Is the future freezing or something?" Matrim felt warm in the shirt he was wearing, all he really needed was something for his feet. He walked inside the TARDIS trying his best to not get his toes caught in the floor, he made it to where the wardrobes were and found a pair of chuck's his size and some ankle socks. He put on the ankle socks and laced up the red high-tops, putting his jean legs over them after doing so. He turned back and waited relatively close to where all the buttons were.

Maybe if I pay close attention I'll understand how he runs this thing.... find out how he got it to just appear out of nowhere.

The Doctor walked in after Lunari made her comments.

Another woman I don't have a shot with. Snowballs chance in hell Matt, snowballs chance in hell.

He turned to Jeremy for a brief second and then started to stare off into space wondering if Jeremy was the kind of kid he'd want in the Enforcement Squad. The name he and Alex were poking around with.

Well, he's big. Seems tough... but he's also a little unpredictable at the moment. He's friendly, but I don't know what kind of person he thinks I am. I don't know if gangs are his sort of thing. I mean, hell, we aren't exactly going to be accepted by the right sorts of people, but this is a prison. We do this before anybody else does, and we're two steps ahead of everyone else. We run this. We don't get left in the dust, we own the school and make it function.

"Hey Jeremy. Half an hour after class, meet me by the Fountain on the grounds and I'll get this shirt back to ya, cleaned and everything, that alright by you?"

Hopefully it was. It'd give him a chance to catch him outside of class where he could talk business in what Matt considered a business environment.

[The Doctor]

Students were talking amongst themselves but the Doctor didn't care since they were doing what he had asked them to.

"Well, if Solaris can trust you, so can I. It's a hypercube."

"YES! You understand! Well, mostly yeah... it's not a perfect cube though... definitely not on the inside, but the concept of making the inside larger then the outside with the simple act of movement, yes!"

"Yes, I could use something warm Doc...and to answer your question...I apparently still have some things to learn about physics..."

"Ahh! We all always have something to learn, even me!" The Doctor said, running in towards the wardrobe where someone had taken his favorite pair of sneakers, ignoring that fact he grabbed a nice warm jean jacket from the 20th century with a furry white lining. It was a men's jacket, so it'd fit pretty tall on Lunari but it was a split second decision, "Here you go Lunari!"

He tossed the jacket to her and went to the control center, "I want those shoes back when all is said is done alright, Matt?" The Doctor said, "Everyone in? GOOD! Everyone, I guaruntee this is something you'll never forget!"

The Doctor turned on the controls, everything roared to life, sending the TARDIS into the future. Not far off either. They were in orbit of the earth in the TARDIS looking over earth. There was a space ship but he kept it so that nobody could see his TARDIS from the distance he stood. He couldn't see her, he couldn't let his old self see the blue box. Even if he could run into him, he would still recognize the blue box.

Time Lord's, the only species that aren't effected by time paradox's such as meeting yourself. Mostly because they avoided it, but also because of the different forms they took on.

He then walked over to the doors and said out loud, "Arlight then everyone! Coats ready, it'll be a bit chilly mind you, the TARDIS protects us from dying and running out of oxygen and from freezing for the most part, but there is still a bit of a breeze. Now, without adieu, I give to you, the end of the world."

The Doctor flung the doors open revealing the baron wasteland of earth, the storms that were raging on and the cracking surface. The sun was visible from this view, the light dampened by the ships fields which kept them alive. You could see as the earth started to crumble.

"We've got a few minutes yet, so grab a good seat, get a good view everyone. This only happens once!"

[Jeremiah Sykes]

Jeremy looked to matt as he spoke, a little curiosity perked. He could just give it back to him at the dorms, why meet him out by the fountain? however, he wasnt one to complain, instead deciding that matt was considered a friend in his book, and so he would be much obliged to discuss whatever was on the fellows mind.

"Yeah, no worries, ill be there"

He turned his attention back to the doc, who began to speak of time paradoxes and the like. While jeremy wasnt mechanically inclined, he did know a thing or two about such things. Intead of coming out and saying it, he simply folded his arms and waited, looking around and listening as the man spoke. Then, tunring around in a grand introduction, he threw open the doors, revealing a stunning visual.

There were a few kids gathered around the front, most standing, but none in jeremys way. He easily saw out over everyones head, the gaze just as beautiful as it was slightly startling. He didnt let anything show on his face like the rest of the kids though, instead gazing out with nothing but a calm look.

'Wow doc, you may have just opted this class in as my favorite. Congrats' Jeremy thought, a little sidenote in his mind as his eyes drank in the sight.

[Matrim]

"Yeah, no worries, ill be there"

Alright, got it. Now I'll just find a way to learn more about him. His point of view, his personality, his personal code of ethics. The thing is, a guy like that thinks a lot of himself. Rumor's go around about Alex, rumors go around about me, and people either think we're too hyped up or they think we're tough shit. The fact is, I don't know what he thinks of us, but he might have a problem being the third seat. Of course, this was all my idea, and I humbled myself because of Qi, and the fact Alex freakin torched me beyond belief but still.

Matrim knew Corgan hadn't been around. He did however manage to get Alex in on it. They fought, and then decided to create everything. The Doctor interupted his train of thought however, telling him he wanted the shoes back after class, "You got it, Doc."

The Doctor then took them somewhere, babbling on about everything by the doors and then finally got to the point.

"Now, without adieu, I give to you, the end of the world. We've got a few minutes yet, so grab a good seat, get a good view everyone. This only happens once!"

"Holy s*it...." Matrim didn't hold the curse. He looked, earth was breaking, cracking even. He looked and knew the Doc was right. That thing was gonna blow.

"Can't we do anything to stop it? And are we safe here if that thing goes boom?"

Matrim began to worry, mostly for the second question. But he also knew that the Doctor knew his stuff. Unlike most teachers, he was actually the least reckless, which was saying a lot considering he constantly takes them out of their time line.

It's all really.... just cool lookin... It's not like the video's of earth from space you normally see... this things dying.

[Lunari Awren]

"Here you go Lunari!" The small girl accepted the warmth of the coat with open arms, quickly donning and snuggling inside it somewhat. The TARDIS felt as if it had barely moved, when it suddenly stopped, and walking away from The Doctor, she looked down, still figuring out how the machine worked its wonders. However, she was quickly interuppted by his voice..."Now, without adieu, I give to you, the end of the world."

Normally an easily distracted girl when she had something fun to do, this comment instantly became number one on her priority list. The doors had swung open, and a silight draft was flowing in...the students were gathering by the door, their mouths agape in awe. As Lunari reached the door, she could see why.

The Earth as it was, was dying.

"My god..." Lunari had a fine-tuned relationship to the moon, however the Earth was symbiotic...neither Luna nor Terra held any dominance, and now...that relationship was being shorn apart. The effects could be easily felt. The Qi charged inside her was...twisting and churning, in agony, in pain. It was as if something of her very soul was being lost. And although she wore a rather dense coat, she was shivering almost uncontrollably where she stood, soon sinking to her knees.

She could easily explain what was happening...she had done so in many lectures for other planets, but this was much different. Shaking, she took her glasses and folded them, her eyes turning orange as her first Qi activated. Her theory was correct, she even had trouble activating the Eye's of Luna; they lacked the normal bright glow, and the insight and power.

She would attempt to speak about a minute later. "...Do...Doc...what is the date today?" She asked quietly.

[The Doctor]

"Can't we do anything to stop it? And are we safe here if that thing goes boom?"

"It's the earths time. Nothing I can do, Sun blew up, the earths about to go itself." Then the Doctor noticed Lunari. Then in the back of his head, for once, he had a thought.

"I made a mistake....." The Doctor said scanning Lunari with his MAC again, he quickly ran over to her.

"My god..."

She started acting strange and the Doctor knew what it was. "Lunari, there is no moon. Your Qi may be out of whack, yes I know about your Qi, invasion of privacy with my modified MAC, but for now deal with it,"

"...Do...Doc...what is the date today?"

"Ummm.... October.... 28th? Give or take 5 billion years into the future....." The Doctor said. He had no intention of telling anyone the day. But he wondered if that would change anything. "The moon's gone Lunari, and your a little taken back, I'm going to do something to help you for awhile, you have to trust me and just let it happen."

The Doctor powered up his own Qi. He then spoke out loud in order to activate it, "Security Protocol One Engage."

A flash within the TARDIS and every living being except for the Doctor would now be in a ghost form, trapped in the ship wherever they are with very limited movement.

"You don't have a physical body, your Qi is still there, but it has no physical body to effect. Now given the moon being destroyed, what does that do to you? Do I need to end this journey short?"

[Lunari Awren]

"Lunari, there is no moon. Your Qi may be out of whack, yes I know about your Qi, invasion of privacy with my modified MAC, but for now deal with it." That explained just about everything in one fell swoop. Lunari maintained a constant link with Luna, it channeled her Qi, it channeled much of the life energy that flowed through her. She just barely finished the thought when she was transformed into an ethereial (sp?) state, a ghost of sorts. The pain was alliviated some, but her insides were still twisting, the Qi trying to channel itself...with nowhere to go.

"You don't have a physical body, your Qi is still there, but it has no physical body to effect. Now given the moon being destroyed, what does that do to you? Do I need to end this journey short?"

Lunari was eager to leave...it was more than just a physical effect, it was mental as well. Luna wasn't just the moon, it was a spirit, who didn't exist in this time period. And Lunari, was now, after the Shoshoni ritual, Luna's avatar. If Luna didn't exist...nor would she. "Doc..." She said, breathy and shallow. "Doc, I'm..." It was difficult to spit out words, and she was having a hard time breathing. She was also running sick as can be...fever, cold chills, everything associated much with a severe flu.

"Doc, I'm dying."

She would have to explain her connection to the moon later, but for now, all she wanted to do was sleep. Her orange eyes faded away as the Qi churned, and unable to maintain control, started to discharge the violet energy stored within her, in the form of bolts, glows, and other odd effects. Without her glasses on, or the power of even her first Qi, she fell completely blind to her surroundings, nearly unconscious.

[The Doctor]

The Doctor went into action. He knew what he had to do. He knew getting her back would still mean facing Solaris and explaining why his sister nearly died.

He focused the energy of the TARDIS and sent it back, far back, to the creation. The doors shut just as students would witness the blowing up of earth. No earth, no sun, no moon.

The TARDIS went back. Before 650, before the dinosaurs, to shortly after the creation of earth, which is to say, when the moon came into play.

"Lunari," The Doctor said, "I'm going to release my Qi, we are at the beginning, we are at the birth of the bond between the earth the sun and the moon, you should get a bit of a high off of this. You'll probably be insanely powerful and completely healed. Try not to kill anyone."

The Doctor then released his Qi, everyone became solid again and Lunari would soon feel the greatest amount of Lunar energy she had ever felt in her life. The Doctor pulled out a caramel apple lollipop from his coat pocket and handed it to her, "Feeling better?"

[Lunari Awren]

Lunari had closed her eyes, and supposedly lost consciousness, however, she still was still lightly aware of her surroundings, the TARDIS moving a little, and then it stopping. "I'm going to release my Qi, we are at the beginning, we are at the birth of the bond between the earth the sun and the moon, you should get a bit of a high off of this. You'll probably be insanely powerful and completely healed. Try not to kill anyone."

There was little she could do but roll her head back and forth as he spoke his words, and finally, she cringed in pain as she collapsed once more on the ground after the Doc had released his Qi. For a moment, nothing happened, but in at a very instant in time, Luna had reestablished her connection with Terra, and caught in the crossfire, Lunari received the largest dose of lunar moonlight that a Shoshoni moonbender could hope to ever dream of. Almost instantly, she awoke with a start, her body glowing a bright purple, and her Twlight Scythe automatically appearing in her hand to charge itself as well.

It was the most epic rush she could ever imagine, more so than any sugar or adrenaline rush. Slowly, she drug herself from the ground, stumbling as she stood....but she was alive, and well for that matter. The Scythe helped to channel energy around the external parts of her body, and with one hand, formed a ball of violet-white light, several actually that started to swirl around the weapon of hers, a faint smile appeared on her face as she accepted the Doc's lollypop.

"I'm feeling much better thank you..."

A full moon on Earth was a crazy experience, this one in space, epic.

She had become fantasy.

She had become the Phoenix. Reborn in Luna's light.

[The Doctor]

"Well that's something you don't see everyday....." The Doctor said watching Lunari in all her glory. He went back to his TARDIS main controls and made some preperations, he took the feeling patches, more specifically the ones labeled 'happy' and took the chemicals out of it. Using his sonic screwdriver on the TARDIS, sidenote: which is a big mistake to do.... big... big mistake unless you are the doctor himself....., he rerouted the energy being transferred to Lunari to the ship, forming the energy into a drug, and used the energy of the TARDIS to shift the drug patches so that they were fused with Lunar energy.

He then had the TARDIS make a note of the Lunar energy, storing a bit in the ship itself so that he could generate it at any given time if he ever needed to save her life. It was something he did without telling her, as a way to say 'thank you'. He would save her life so long as he could.

"Alright then! End of trip everyone! Back home we go!" The Doctor sent them back into the present, well, 20 minutes into the future from when they left, in reality about 5 minutes had passed. It worked both ways afterall.

He handed the 9 patches to Lunari without paying much attention, "Lunar patches, like Nicotine, it'll keep you from the shakes and shivers from the missing power. Use one every 4 days until the next full moon. Your powers should be back to normal after that."

[Lunari Awren]

Almost as soon as it had began, the TARDIS roared away, ending back into the classroom. She unfolded her cybernetic MAC glasses, and put them back on, refocusing her Qi to her center, storing it away, trying to reduce the churning as a normal connection was established with the present day Luna. In doing so, she fell backwards onto the TARDIS deck, almost laughing.

"Wow...heh, what a power trip..."

She rocked a couple times, then flipped back to her feet and took the patches from Doc. If Lunari was one thing...she was a hippie of sorts. She didn't take even prescription medication for problems, often, mediating at night fixed the problem as her Qi did the work naturally. But...sometimes, she supposed, even her Qi had problems.

"I'm sorry everyone you couldn't see what you were looking forward to..." She WAS legitimately sorry for the interupptions, but she had no idea this would happen, and honestly, she'd learned a lot from the experience, about physics, about astronomy, about herself.

"I think I'll be seeing you soon Doc..." She mentioned, gesturing at the small metal plate bound to the back of her neck. "Thank you so much for everything." She smiled, and done with today...ran out the door of the TARDIS, and out of the room.

[The Doctor]

"Alright then Lunari, feel better." The Doctor said exiting the TARDIS, he had been so preoccupied with Lunari that he completely forgot about students. He turned around immediately and suddenly spoke towards them, "Students! Homework! I want you all to think of a historical mystery. Something within history which there is a lot of stuff that is unclear. The only exception being relegion. I will not interfere with relegion."

The Doctor stayed away from relegious history. He didn't have an opinion either way. If there was something out there older then the face of bo, he didn't know of it. Although, he did face off with the devil. But that's another story.

"Other then that, feel free to leave. I won't keep you."

(OOC: Go ahead and post reactions to everything and leaving. I will make a new history thread, and allow time to post leaving in this one.)
